"As with Tending Roses I found this book a really sweet story, but unlike Tending Roses I found it also a wake up call. Where is my heart and where am I focused and am I really happy and in tune? So much to ponder in my own life from this story. I highly recommend it."
"Third in the series, I was so excited, because all the characters come together. Very enjoyable book. This one is about the sister of the girl in Book 1, and also a lot about Dell, the little orphaned girl who lives down the road. I really wanted to know more about Dell and am happy with the direction the author takes in this book."
