…When Molly moves back to Indiana, she lives briefly with her sister and this causes some tension. Her family is not accepting her the way she hopes they will. Molly’s teenage nephew Riley adds an extra dimension to the story and presents a solid theme. The reader sees and experiences his social life and also meets his first love, who happens to baby-sit for Molly. Not only do I like this babysitter, Mickey, but I also find the character of Hattie to be wonderful. Hattie, who looks like a wisp of a lady with a frail demeanor, is a babysitter for little Nicholas too. First appearances are deceiving — Hattie has incredible strength and knowledge. Simplistic as Hattie is (and she is), she still teaches Dr Molly and also this reader.
When situations happen that shake Molly’s foundation, quick page turning happens because you need to know how the story ends. The author is successful presenting two story lines at the same time, interconnecting them but yet each story holding its own. I enjoyed the book!
