Well known author writing about a personal story, that of his widowed father finding a lost love.This is a book about hope. Hope for something to live for. Hope for things lost to be restored. Hope for small odds. It is a gentle story of life's renewal, even for a couple who are great-grandparents. It is also about romance and the call of the heart.I am a family history buff and after reading the book the first time through, went back and pulled out the genealogy details, which amplified and enlarged the story itself.Who cares? you say, well, if you are interested in the book's characters enough to go back through the book to better understand them then you know the book has been worth your time.A gentle read and heart warming, and good character studies. Enjoy!
