Publisher's Summary:
From the author of The Gin & Chowder Club comes an exquisitely heartfelt and uplifting novel that explores the infinite reach of a mother's love - and the gift of second chances
The modest ranch house where Callie Wyeth grew up looks just as she remembers it - right down to the well-worn sheets in the linen closet. But in the years since Callie lived here, almost everything else has changed. Her father, once indomitable, is in poor health. And Callie is a single mother with a beautiful little boy, Henry, who has just been diagnosed with autism.
Returning to this quiet New Hampshire community seems the best thing to do, for both her father and her son's sake. Even if it means facing Linden Finch, the one she loved and left for reasons she's sure he'll never forgive. Linden is stunned that Callie is back - and that she has a son. Yet in the warm, funny relationship that develops between Henry and Linden's menagerie of rescued farm animals, Callie begins to find hope. Not just that her son might break through the wall of silence separating him from the world, but that she too can make a new start amid the places and people that have never left her heart

barely okay
For a novel that is supposedly Christian oriented I was surprised at the several subtle sexual references. I've never found this before in a "Christian" novel. Segments of the story were well done; others were off-putting. Another reviewer mentioned the separation of the boy from the dog he adored. I also felt that the mother was only self-serving on this issue. And then suddenly the story comes to a very abrupt ending. I was not impressed to say the least. This is a real pet peeve of mine. After one disappointment I totally avoid any other books by writers that do this.
Disapointed
This novel is about a Mom and her autistic son who move back home to take care of ailing Dad-Grandpa. It is also a love story rekindling of a high school romance and a corrected error. My disappointment with this novel is that what happened-- the error is never shared-- leaving book without core substance. Disappointing.
Fabulous!
Entertaining book, but more importantly softly introduces the world of autism and starts readers Dow n a path of learning more.
Five Stars
Hard book to put down!
