This is a wonderful book! I chose to read it slowly, so I could savor every sentence. If you like novels centered on a family with adult children, don't miss this one. What an emotional ride!

New arrival in town Ivy buys Darek at a charity bachelor auction, not knowing who he is. Nor does Darek know that Ivy helped keep the man that is responsible for his wife's death out of jail. Both have secrets and are hanging on to their past.
I thought this book was very good. The setting of Deep Haven, Minnesota is familiar from the author's previous series. The book focuses mainly on 4 characters- Ivy, Darek, Jensen and Claire, each of whom have their own problems. A wildfire headed for town adds to the drama of the overall story.

At the same time Ivy who has been searching her entire life for a permanent home that she can make her own has moved to town and has a history that could greatly impact the small town.
