Helpful Score: 3

The character of the grieving widow escaping to an island off Maine to resort her life, is well done. Her inability to move on, her fixation on the details of her husband's death, and the frozen 'stuck' mode she portrays are both sad,real, and humorous. Her new found relationship with this injured retriever, and a couple of people on the island are believable and heartwarming. Easy to read, makes you smile, and helps one to understand the emotional complexity one may go through in dealing with a unexpected death of a family member. I shared this book with 3 women I work with, and they all loved it also.
