Reviews

Jo-Ann Mapson is one of my favorite authors - quite simply, she's an archivist of the human heart * Jodi Picoult *
This tale of love, family and broken hearts will leave you feeling uplifted * Bella *
Mapson performs certain kinds of literary acrobatics with this stand-alone novel ... Mapson does an incredible job of bringing together beloved characters from past novels without leaving newcomers in the cold * Library Journal *
vivid descriptions of New Mexicos rich culture; endearing dogs and horses; and an inspirational message about surmounting shortcomings * Kirkus *
