I think my problem was I expected a romance and this is in the "novel" category from Harlequin MIRA. If you're looking for a book about sisters and their mother overcoming adversity this is the book for you! If you're looking for a love story, take a pass. I want my pleasure reading to be an escape from the real world, not a reflection of it. This has death, economic hardship, job loss, and loneliness. Even the sweet small town setting had realistic petty politics. I like the imaginary town where everyone cooperates to help the heroine, not this one where a high school acquaintance is still giving her grief.
