It is another book homerun before the end of summer. The story is all over the pages of book news sites, newspapers and magazines. It’s a People Pick and received four stars.
The background story of how this novel actually was completed is a beautiful story in and of itself. A first time author, Mary Ann Shaffer had finally put her novel on paper, a dream so many of us have. But before she could finish she died but she had an angel by her side. Enter Annie Barrows a children’s author, her niece, to complete what her aunt so lovingly had started. A true collaboration and a the result is a wonderful story that the family will treasure forever and the reading public as well.
