MIXED EMOTIONS BUT EXCELLENT STORY

Yup! I do believe some women are stupid -- but then ......I understand Sarah's search for love in the wrong places but to continue???????I understand her deep seated problems caused by her mother, Poloma and her step-father, Arthur. And her stuttering.But now she is 34 years old and still wants to run away?Tage,[Taag-uh] at 36 and her sometimes lover? Where the devil was he when he was needed. All of a sudden, at the death of his brother, Peter and Marit, [again, his ex-wife] he becomes a guardian to their son, Lars and the adopted little Tibetan girl, Lobsang. He has to put down his plans to run the Iditarod race in Alaska.So now we have a mix of people and dogs - his business in Minnesota - training and handling dogs - and Sarah, showing up with a wolf-dog she can't handle. Big mistake, the wolf!She sees a whole new side of Tage with the children. He has asked her a number of times to marry him but......It has been nearly twelve years since she has come to Minnesota, 12 years since the death of Arthur and Tage inheriting his property.Arthur had taken her to Lapland when she was 14 and where she met Tage, then 16. Tage had saved her life and she had fallen in love as any fourteen year old girl would.Unraveling M. Early's mystery's involving her traumatized characters is what makes her stories unforgettable. Though I find the parties hard to deal with, nevertheless I find myself learning more about troubled people.Lars is an excellent character and figures well in the story -- but Moses, the wolf - he would be one dead wolf if that had been my story -- although he shouldn't have to suffer for peoples mistaken ideas that you can make a pet of a wild instinct animal - nor can he be trusted -- you don't interfer with the wild ones.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED --M Can't understand Sarah's reasoning for illicit sex. These books become ones own personal choice.

Could not put this book down!

Margot did an excellent job with all the characters. She covered the essence of every character with an insight few authors can achieve. Each character was carefully depicted and I cannot believe I left it sit on the shelf before reading it! If you like a believable and well-thought-out plot, then this is the book for you!

Couldn't put it down!!

Have read Early's books from her first-they are ALL on mykeeper shelf but this is a particular favorite. She is excellentat making her characters LIVE-they seem just as real and many-faceted as someone you might meet, and the emotional intensity of her books cannot be beat. Beautiful story about relationships, becoming a family, and people trying to live their lives in the best way they can; made ME want to try harder-thank you, Ms. Early!!!

A Cool Read for a Hot Summer

Margot's romances just keep getting better. And I'm not much of a romance reader. I learn so much from her books that I could read them for that reason alone. But I don't. In this one, you'll learn about dog sledding, Lapland culture, independence, courage, stuttering and, of course, love. It's a Christmas story good all year round. Margot's literary talents are not to be missed.
