After a brutal divorce from a 27-year marriage, my therapist suggested that I picture what a healthy relationship would look like and how conversations should be. After much discussion and therapy, this book was born with my therapist's help. Since then, other therapists have said that they recommend this book to their patients who need to find self-worth.Reviews - 5.0 out of 5 stars Meaningful and inspiring!Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2025 - I was attracted to this book by its charming cover and title and am so glad I read it. It addressed family conflicts in a very nuanced way. I was quite impressed with how the heroine and hero dealt with sensitive issues among the family. Especially the hero, who was both honest and kind in facing problems directly. If only such effective communication skills were more often seen in real life! I also found the author's descriptive abilities to be impressive. As I read, I felt almost as if I were standing on the porch at Blue Haven, enjoying the peaceful surroundings and gazing at the lake. I encourage others to give this a try and am hopeful to see further books from this talented author. Read more
