If you have ever read a book that held your attention throughout, that you did not want to put down and, in fact, resented having to leave, that you wished would go on forever, then you understand what I mean by saying this book is captivating. Maggie Claydon is a character the reader will quickly fall in love with: an innocent woman with a heart of gold. Even though Maggie grew up in an orphanage, she learned to appreciate what love means and generously shares herself and her love with a group of elderly tenants in an apartment building she inherited from the grandmother she never knew. Jake Murphy experienced a terrible tragedy when his wife and two children were murdered, and Jake functions in a deep depression until he meets Maggie. Maggie's generous nature and inner and outer beauty help Jake to understand that life goes on and he can love again. This is one of the best books I have ever read. I laughed, I cried, I grew anxious wondering if Maggie and Jake were ever going to tell each other how they felt! A beautiful love story that is written in such a wonderful way. I was surprised this is the author's first book. Cadelo's eloquent writing style is the best. She has the unique ability to write a story that will enthrall the reader from start to finish and leave the reader anxiously awaiting the next book by this fantastic author. If I could rate this more than five stars I would. I highly recommend this to everyone. A beautiful love story that will capture your heart, I promise!

I haven't read a book that I enjoyed as much in a long time! I felt like I was right there with Maggie through the whole story- Ms. Cadelo's writing style evokes such vivid imagery. I have been recommending this book to EVERYONE. I even got my husband to read it and he doesn't normally read anything without "blood and guts". But he admitted that he enjoyed the purity and innocence of the story and that "everyone should read a book like this once in a while!" I am eagerly awaiting this author's next novel...
