From Dancing At the Harvest Moon
For some people, there comes a day when every dream they ever piled up over the years, every good intention rises in rebellion against eh life they've been living. It can happen on the subway, behind the wheel of a car, while standing on a bridge looking down at the water... However it happens, wherever it happens, whenever it happens, one thing is certain: You die and then you're reborn.

A Canadian lake and autumn as one review states to think of "The Bridges of Madison County"> A good story of first love and lost and second love in the next generation. Touching with humor and good literary references plus the thoughts of music from the sixties.

This is a beautiful love story. Reminds me of Nicholas Sparks, it's a good tearjerker.

I love this book. This is the second time I have read it. Good romance novel about losing love and finding it again.

This novel, a "debut" for its pseudonymous author, is being touted widely as the "female Bridges of Madison County," and it should appeal to the same audience. McKinnon is purported to have published seven literary novels under her real name, which was not divulged at press time. The story centers around a newly divorced woman and her journey back to the locale of her first "true" love some 20 years before?an idyllic lakeside retreat in New England.

His letters thrilled her as a young woman in love for the first time, and now, many years later, they mean more than ever to Maggie McIntyre. After her husband of twenty years leaves her for a younger woman, it's the discovery of Robbie's letters that gives Maggie a renewed sense of purpose: to return to Little Bear Lake and recapture the woman she once was - the woman she knows she could be again. But time has changed the place she knew and loved. The Harvest Moon dance hall where she worked as a waitress is closed. Still, Maggie is determined to reopen it, with the help of friends and a special man who enters her life in a most unexpected way. As they work together to make her dream come true, a powerful attraction develops between them. Maggie struggles with her feelings for a younger man whose age stands in the way of her growing affection for him. But their passion is undeniable, and soon she will have to decide which is more important to her; what other people think, or what she feels in her heart.
