It was more like a 3.5 star book rather than just a 3 star, as I did enjoy the book.It kept my interest from the start. The characters were all very different although each seemed a little too dramatic for the circumstances each faced. The biggest negative for me came with the ending. It seeme...
Although this is not my favorite book by Patti Callahan Henry, it was still a good read. I wish I could have given it 3.5 stars, instead of 3, because of the plot's predictability. But on the other hand, it kept me interested, and I am glad I read it. I'm not sure if Southern Writers seem to have...
Although this book was readable, it wasn't one of my favorites. When Ellie, the main character, finds her deceased mother's journal, she discovers how different her mother was when she was younger. To figure out why her mother changed, she decides to find out more about a man who broke her moth...

This was such a sweet story. The Novella took place, primarily, over two holiday seasons, with the magical backdrop of the South and Ireland. I loved the characters and they seemed so familiar to me (and then discovered, in the author discussion, that they also appeared in an early book writte...

—MAEVE MAHONEY TO KARA LARSON Exhausted, full, and sated, the band found their usual seats and dozed off as the bus headed toward Nashville. Isabelle moaned. “I should not have had that last piece of pumpkin pie.” Jimmy moved to the backseat and watched his childhood home fade from view. He r...
The sky a bowl of blue, dotted with birds. The air so warm it caressed the skin. And everyone smiling, taking photos, and holding hands. Which how-to-get-over-your-loss book had told her to live in the present? Ella had consulted so many that they all blended together. Notice. Be present. Stay ce...
Annabelle walked along the sidewalk checking addresses, looking down at her torn paper, then back up again to the numbers on the buildings. Jake hadn’t risen this morning no matter how hard she pounded on his door, so she had ventured out to find Liddy Parker’s address on her own. She needed to a...
It feels a little demeaning, as if you’re placing all other friends on a lower scale. Dear friends are dear and there isn’t a best. I can say all of that with certitude and yet in the same breath tell anyone this: “Willa is my best friend.” She knows everything there is to know about me and she c...
Kate looked up at the coffered ceiling, at the carved woodwork and limestone fireplace, at the buffed hardwood floors and the plank walls painted dove grey. Baseball cards sat in piles on the coffee table. “Welcome,” Jack said and held out his hands. “You never did see the house finished.” ...
