Small-town gossip never much bothered Olivia Westerly. As a single career woman, she's weathered her share. It's easy to ignore the raised eyebrows over her late-in-life marriage to Charlie Doyle. But after he drops dead on their honeymoon, the whispers are salt on her raw grief. Especially when an orphaned, 11-year-old-boy shows up on her doorstep, looking for the grandfather he never met.

Behind Ethan Allen Doyle's wary blue eyes lie heavily guarded emotions that unexpectedly tug on Olivia's heart, and she finds herself wanting to win his trust. But when his murderous secret comes looking for him, the entire town embraces the lonely widow and desperate child to show its true heart when danger threatens one of its own.

initially, when I started reading/listening to the book, I was really getting into it. Then it seem to switch over to a different story. I was a bit confused feeling that I might’ve missed some thing but halfway through it finally connected. The beginning was the introduction of how the story would end. I can tell you that I have tears in my eyes as it’s such a loving story it doesn’t matter if you’re born or blessed with a child, they could be equally loved.

Excellent Read

This is a good book for fans of Catherine Ryan Hyde as it has similar elements to some of Hyde’s most popular works. The author smoothly creates interesting characters tasked with navigating trying events.

The end was worth it after all but I was confused a few times trying to keep up with all of the characters and how they fit together. I’ll be thinking about this one for a while.

A really wonderful story. Kept me interested and surprised. The narration is very difficult to listen to. It would be much better read and not listened to. First time with this author. Will look for more by her.

Great story

The narrator is very good. The story is terrible! I'm not sure what the point of this storyline is other than to show how selfish the women in it are. The language becomes offensive, and the historical attributes aren't really there. I will not be finishing this book.
