Book description
From the internationally renown author who has become synonymous with
entertaining heartfelt bestellers.
Jake and Maggie, each fleeing a failed marriage, meet and fall in love,
but their pasts provide obstacles.
Jake Cantrell is suave, charming and a brilliant electrical engineer
saddened by the failure of his marriage to Amy.
Maggie Sorrell is a bright and elegant interior designer. She, too, has
suffered a broken marriage.
In picturesque Kent, Connecticut, Jake and Maggie join a local amateur
dramatics group, and are introduced. The relationship blossoms, but
ahead lie obstacles - the fifteen-year difference in their ages, Amy's
sudden illness, her reluctance to divorce Jake, and Maggie's own inner turmoil.
But together they overcome the odds and find the ultimate: love in
another town. 'Few novelists are as consummate as Barbara Taylor
