Great story. The secret was painfully to read. Emotional
From Library Journal
Called home from New York to Texas by her mother's heart attack, "hanging judge" Delia Carson is forced to confront a sordid past she has tried to put behind her-and ends up rediscovering the love she thought she had lost for good. A strong heroine who needs to forgive the past (and herself) and a determined, caring hero dominate the action. For all its darker elements and the fact that some of the problems are too conveniently solved, this is still a compelling, emotionally satisfying romance. Excellent characterizations and a realistic portrayal of the small-town environment add appeal.
