"Lindsay returns to her roots to find herself and finds more -- love to last a lifetime"

This is a great beginning of Buffalo Valley, North Dakota saga and again Debbie Macomber's style and insight shines through. I always try to appreciate what an author put into each book instead of taking for granted that she has presented many other great books; so this one will be great, too. She brings her personal touch to one of life's everyday events -- the similarities and differences between people -- he's a little bit country, she's a little bit city.

In need to change her life, Lindsay Snyder returns to her grandparent's home that she remembers from childhood. Lindsay as well as adding spark to her student's lives as a teacher, add spark to Gage Sinclair's life.

This is also the story of a town and you will "join" Lindsay and the Buffalo Valley community. The characters are very well developed and interact with each other believably. As you become part of this small town, you will await further installments in the upcoming books. I think that is one of the best compliments I can give -- that the story drew me in and the characters became real enough that I want to know more.

Welcome to Buffalo Valley, a town that you'll never forget.

Buffalo Valley, North Dakota. Like so many small towns, it's dying. Stores are boarded up, sidewalks cracked, houses wanting a coat of paint. But despite it all, there's a spirit of hope here, of defiance. The few people still left in Buffalo Valley are fighting for their town.

Lindsay Snyder is a newcomer. She's an outsider, even though she spent childhood vacations here. Now she returns to see the family house again, to explore family secrets and to reevaluate her life.

To her own amazement she decides to stay. Her decision marks a new beginning for Buffalo Valley -- and for Lindsay Snyder, who discovers in this broken little town the love and purpose she's been seeking.
