I had never even heard of Sarah Mayberry, but I found this book on the free list so I figured... what the heck, why not give it a whirl? Boy, am I ever glad I gave this book a chance. I never expected anything remotely as good as this! This was a really, really good story.

Mackenzie was a middle aged woman, who's job meant everything to her. She'd even lost her marriage, all because she was way too busy trying to make a name for herself. And then early one morning on her way to a shoot, she has a terrible accident that had almost cost her life. After being hospitalized for 3 months, as well as 5 months of rehab, she was told that they could no longer hold her job. Her friends and family had already deserted her in her time of need, and now this. She was still trying to deal with her long term disabilities, and this news would have completely devastated her, if it were not for her next door neighbor-Oliver.

Oliver has his own problems to work out. And that's why he was at the cottage house on the beach in the first place. When he'd found out his wife was cheating on him through-out their whole marriage, with her former lover no less, he knew he had to get away from everyone and everything, if he was ever going to be able to put his life back together again. His deceased Aunt had left the house to him and his brother, so he figured he go there for a few weeks to get the house ready for the market, and to get his head straight.

What the two of them find, is something neither one of them would ever have expected. Through many talks and hand holding, these two helped heal each others wounded souls.

Would I recommend this book? Yes, most certainly. In fact; I am so impressed by this author, that I intend to go check out her other works.

Side note: Usually I don't  like books written by foreign writer's, mainly because of the different slang words they use. It's sort of hard trying to enjoy the story when you have no idea what those slang words mean. BUT....This is not the case in this book at all. Yes- this book did have a couple of slang words, but I totally understood what they meant, and it didn't detour me from enjoying this story, what-so-ever!

I read this book in one day. It is very well written and I would highly recommend it. It is a story of a boy from the wrong side of the tracks, with a hellacious family life. There is redemption in the story but not quite who you think when you start. All in all a very well thought out story and characters. One of the best I have read this year.
