Publisher's summary

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER

When a single mom becomes an empty nester, she spreads her wings to rediscover herself - and her passions - in this heartwarming novel from number one New York Times best-selling author Debbie Macomber.

Jenna Boltz’s life is at a crossroads. After a messy divorce from her surgeon husband nearly 20 years ago, she raised her two children on her own, juggling motherhood with her beloved job as a Seattle intensive-care nurse. Now that Paul and Allie have gone to college and moved out, Jenna can’t help but wonder what her future holds.

Her best friend, Maureen, is excited for Jenna’s newfound independence. Now is the perfect time to finally book the trip to Paris they’ve been dreaming of since their college days. But when it comes to life’s other great adventure - dating - Jenna still isn’t sure she’s ready to let love in...until an unexpected encounter begins to change her mind.

When Jenna’s elderly mother breaks her hip, Dr. Rowan Lancaster saves the day. Despite his silent, stoic exterior, Rowan is immediately smitten with Jenna. And even though Jenna is hesitant about becoming involved with another surgeon, she has to admit that she’s more than a little intrigued. But when Jenna’s children approach her with shocking news, she realizes that she needs to have faith in love and embrace the unexpected - before the life she has always dreamed of passes her by.

Excitement

I truly enjoyed the way this story had a true life feel. It showed especially how true friends can give a shoulder to cry on and wisdoms if resolve and peace.

Predictable

Usually Debbie Macomber books delight me. This book was different. The characters did not invite me into their space. They were flat without personality. The story was predictable. The two women were too whiny. The kids too bratty. About half way through I thought I’d let it go. I didn’t and it became a pleasant companion to my work. I would not say don’t read it, and be prepared for a read that is easier than most of her books to put down.

A little disappointed.

Felt like, at times, this book was elementary and repetitive. Some of her other books were much better. The lady who read the book was excellent.
