Michele Dunaway has captured the spirit of the classroom teacher and all her worries. Jolie has to deal with a principal who should tell her students, their parents, the faculty and staff to mind their own business, but instead the principal is a busy-body and worries about the wrong things in life, both personal and professional.
On top of that, Jolie has had a tragic past. She’s in her thirties, and Hank is in his forties, also a tragic past. They’ve moved on, or so they believe, but they’re only surviving, until they find each other. They realize they’ve been simply existing, and they want more. They want to come out of the darkness of their past sufferings.
Jolie is a teacher and wants to be a mother. Hank is a father and wants to be a husband, again. Can they put their past behind them and take their friendship to the next level? They think they can, but then the dark moment hits them right between the eyes, especially Jolie. But if anybody can fix it and make it better, it’s Hank Friesen, but does he want to…after what Jolie let happen to his son…
Michele does a great job with the book, these characters, and the setting and plot. Her book is a charming, easy read, and I found it quite relaxing, even if I am a teacher and at time I wanted to pummel the principalJ
