My first book by this author Charlotte Hubbard, It will not be my last, I truly enjoyed this book.

I really enjoyed reading this first book of the (Seasons of the Heart) series. It's awesome the way this author describes the characters and their personality, the area around where they live, the food that was cooked,it was all so realistic!
