One of the books reviewed by Jamieson Wolf on "Wolf''s Picks" for July (2004) is IT HAD TO BE US by Harry and Elizabeth Lawrence.
Wolf calls the memoir "a lovely romantic novella about a couple that gets a second chance with each other and a second chance at love."
He also writes, "Though this book may be slim, it's an awesome read. If you like romances, this is the book for you. Heck, even if you don't like romances, it's still a wonderful read . . . and you will be cheering at the end, I can assure you."
Wolf applauds IT HAD TO BE US for being filled with "emotion, love, regret and passion."
