Another sweet small-town tale by Carolyn Brown. Loved this tale of two foster children returning to their foster mother in her time of need and last days of life. The tale is full of good neighbors, kindness, and second chances. ( )

Rating: 3/5 stars

**MINI-REVIEW**

The Bottom Line: Normally, I would do nothing but gush about the latest Carolyn Brown read, but I find myself in new territory with this book. I didn’t love this book and that sort of confuses me 😊 When it comes down to it, I didn’t find this book nearly as uplifting as I normally find Carolyn Brown’s books. In fact, from start to finish, I found this to be one of the most depressing books I’ve read. Miss Janie is such a sad figure and to see her life ending in such a manner is hard to swallow. Though her girls and her beloved nephew are with her and supporting her through to the end, I just couldn’t get past how sad Miss Janie is and has been for so many years. As always, there is nothing technically wrong with this book, but it is a heartbreaker even with the good bits thrown in to balance the bad. With that being said, I think most Carolyn Brown fans are still going to like this book. I know I’m in the minority 😊 ( )

This was truly an emotional story, especially for me because my uncle died of alzheimers. so in this story we meet Janie and she is dying of alzheimers so she writes letters to her girls before she forgets. The girls Teresa and kayla, we do not know how they are going to react to those letters, but let me tell you you cry, and feel it right along with them..Secrets are revealed, and how they can fight thru this.
