After we, as readers, have come to know them, we can't help but care what they choose." -Chattanooga Times "Warmly written...down to earth."-Desert News (Salt Lake City, UT) "Every once in a while, a romance writer like Robin Pilcher comes along with a story that is just plain fun to read, that introduces characters that are worth getting to know, and that isn't necessarily predictable, even though it may tell a story we already know on some level...it is not surprising, then, that he clearly understand the expectations of the romance novel. What is also clear is that Pilcher, the son, understands much about families...and he encourages us with the thought that, even in the worst of times, there is the hope of starting over."-Anniston Star "Pilcher has definitely inherited his mother's talent...and his second novel should prove that he isn't riding on her coattails.
