Helpful Score: 1

This book is, unfortunately, not very believable. A new widow sells and moves across country about six weeks after the death of her beloved husband. An accomplished writer, she seems to have almost no other relationships--either friends or family. With one phone call she reconnects with long ignored college friends, almost immediately finds a man she tries to sleep with, and within about 3 months opens a store with the help of her old friends, none of whom live remotely nearby. She tries to present a picture of bereavement and the power of friendship, but it needs to be presented more realistically. She should also know that a maple seed won't flutter to the ground on its delicate wings in December!
