Sarah and Jack were first introduced in "Dockside" as visitors to the Willow Lake Inn in Greg and Nina's story. There, Jack and Sarah tried to reconnect after Jack's recovery from cancer. Oddly that one little scene in "Dockside" was a great glimpse at the their trouble marriage where Sarah was more like a mom and Jack like a child than husband and wife.

As Sarah tried to rebuild her life and career, I liked the fact that she starts to see her part in the divorce. No, it wasn't her fault Jack cheated but she did play a part in the relationship falling apart. She does a lot of growing and self-searching as well as reconnecting with her family.

It is very predictable. There were parts that weren't written very smoothly but I found myself enjoying the book. I wished more time was spent on catching the firebug though. It was a nice, slow read.
