Customer Reviews

The previous reviewers said it all!

The synopses have been given but I like this book enough to add my two cents worth. This is an excellent read and there is a sequel called "Consequences" about Isabel's sister plus being part of a whole saga about the people of Crystal Creek. It is one of my rereads. Enjoy!
