I love the setting and the chactors. it was a fast read and i never wanted to put the book down and read it one day. fall in love with Joy and her daughter and Marks.
I enjoyed the sweet romance, and would have rated the book 5 stars, except the mystery and problems were solved without enough suspense.

I was 14 when the editor of our church's publishing house taught a journalism class at church camp. My Dad took the photos, so it was easy to write and illustrate an article about an event that week. The editor added in excerpts from the other kids in the class and my first article was accepted for publication. Through the next four years, eleven more were published. I had encountered my dream - t
