Just in Time

by Steven Manchester

Eunice Giles and Bill Stryker find love in the winter of their lives. According to Eunice, �Love can happen at any time in life�young or old�and the trick is to cherish it by living each of its moments to the fullest. One brief moment in love is worth more than a decade wandering aimlessly in solitude.” Set in the world of Steven Manchester’s novel PRESSED PENNIES, this is the story of a moment of love that is worth so much more than either Eunice or Bill can imagine.

Just in Time by Steven Manchester
Love how this story plays out. A man walking down the street, super windy out and speaks to an older woman on the porch and they go for ice cream.
They have many common things and spend a lot of quality time together, love little things that really matter the most.
He tells her of his past life and she tells him of hers. Christmas time is a treat as she's brought the whole family together and they heal one another.
Love the time in Pocono's I've only read about the area and drive by a few times a year without stopping. SO much to do or be by yourselves alone.
Sad at the end but life does go on and she sees that in special secret things she finds, they all made a difference. Poems in this one to treasure.
Very emotional read but has so much to it: travel, little things, older adults, thins money can buy and things money can not buy.
Title tells it all, live every moment you can as if it's your last.19
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.

If you have read Pressed Pennies (which I have), this novella has much greater meaning. Steven Manchester is an amazing author that writes from the heart. I can not get enough of his books! I wish that he could write as quickly as I can read!

I loved this book. Eunice and Bill were such lovable characters. I could picture the two 70-year old romantics! How sweet they found each other Just in Time! I would recommend this book highly!
