Love Makes A Difference

This book made me so angry at first, Catherine Prentice's so called mother was 2 hate filled to be a human being. On finding out that the Prentices weren't her real family, Catherine went to the last place her real mother had been. Her object was to find the woman and serve her some facts about the cruel, wicked, and twisted people she left her small helpless baby with. But Catherine had an accident on the day she arrived in the small Yorkshire village of Towerby. Keir Durrell found her sitting on a bench and he fell in love. Keir took her to meet his sister Janice, only to have Catherine flake out on him. Catherine had lost her memory, but started gaining it back almost at once ended up in the same hospital Janice worked in, and her memory came back in full. Keir and Janice took her in, Catherine did all she could to help them. It didn't take Sandra Keir's receptionist long to put Catherine in her place. Out of Keir's life, Sandra went so far as stealing some money and checks, she hid them in Catherine's room under her mattress. But Keir was up on that. I can't say how many times this worked in other books. Keir's kindness started to ease Catherine's heart, soon she felt her mission was mean and abandoned it, only to find her real mother (Anna)Catherine Mitchell, now through, and she was in for a surprise; her mother suffered a break-down because of giving up her child caused her to become white haired. Finding out that Catherine is the 21 yr-old child she had given up, the whole family embraced Catherine. She found out that her mother had married Ian and became Michael's mother. Now Catherine had her own mother, Ian as her father, and Keir as her own love. From the back of the book: 'A once-in-a-lifetime man. Keir Durrell was a special sort of man. He made Catherine feel safe and needed, a feeling she'd craved ever since the discovery that her birth mother had abandoned her. Keir was the man she'd been waiting for all her life-only the timing was all wrong... Keir had been recently widowed, and seemed in no hurry to find a second wife. And what Catherine needed to do was find her mother-not a husband. But Keir's kisses were proving very distraction and rather addictive!

Heartwarming Story

Catherine came to the small country village to find her birth mother, the woman who'd abandoned her years before. She was bitter, determined, angry and certainly not in the mood to fall in love. Enter Keir Darrell, the local veterinarian, whose dark good looks and kindness blazed a trail straight to Catherine's heart. Just when Catherine thought that her search to find her birth mother had failed, Keir provided the all important link to the truth, to the woman whose story was very different from the one Catherine had envisioned. Since I've traveled a little in England, this story was very dear to my heart. I could easily imagine the town and its charming people from Ms. Brooks' vivid descriptions and I fell in love with the United Kingdom all over again! Yet, this is also a story about love and greed, envy and compassion and the fact that often, our assumptions may be proven wonderfully incorrect.
