Welcome to Mason, a small town in Kansas where everyone knows everything about each other and marriages are built in grade school. It was always Vera with Adam and her younger sister Kelly with Paul. Expected to marry and live ordinary everyday lives. But when Adam leaves to join the peace corps, a future that Vera dreamed of them sharing, she is left behind to support her mother and sister. Years later when he returns, everything has changed. The dreams she had of world travel are the same but Adam isn't. She only has to wait for her sister to marry before she can escape. But Paul has left town leaving Kelly confused and heartbroken. Adam comes up with a crazy plan to make everyone happy. But what everyone expects to happen isn't what's meant to be.
I remember sneaking my first romance novel, A Knight in Shining Armor, off my mother's bookshelf when I was young. After that I devoured every Jude Deveraux book I could find. Her writing style has changed over the years, and she is still one of my favorite authors. This generational saga is one of her best. I couldn't put it down!
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. The views and opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.
