A Gread Read!

I have read this book twice, and I couldn't put it down either time. I finished it in 3 days. It's a heartwarming story full of twists and turns to keep you coming back for more. I can't wait for the next book, and will be looking for it in the future.Thanks Norma for a very exciting book. Carol

An Excellent Read!

Definitely an excellent read! I read it whenever I could get a chance and finished in three days. I would get totally lost in the story and before I knew it, I read 30 pages! I probably wouldn't have been fortunate enough to read this book if fate didn't have me walk into Waldenbooks at the Middletown Galleria in New York that day when Norma was doing her book signing. I think I found the last copy, and it sounded interesting, so I thought, "Why not?, and I'll get it signed to boot". Well, by the time I got to the checkout (I have two teens who got caught up in what books to buy), Norma was gone. I was so disappointed, but one of the store employees suggested walking around and maybe I would see her again. I thought it was possible that I would see her in the food court, and I did! I saw her walking into the ladies room and I told the kids, "Wait here"! I saw her as soon as I walked in and kindly asked her to sign my book, and she was so gracious! Thank you, Norma! I loved your story! I am so glad I met you too! I will treasure my signed copy always!

Delightful read

This book was a delight to read. I found the book to be a quick read, but not a predictable read. The were little twists among the pages to make you not want to put the book down. This is the kind of book in which you get caught up in the main character and feel her emotions. I look forward to reading Norma's next novel.

Outstanding

This book is a must read. I couldnt put it down. I am a school teacher and I basically read for a living. It is rare for me to read for leisure but a friend gave me this book and I have to say I read the entire novel in four days. I would strongly recommend.

Absolutely Captivating!

From the beginning I knew this would be the type of book I wouldn't be able to put down. What an incredible account of the encounters and destinies that we can all relate to in our lives - and no one creates such an image in our minds as well as Norma does. Truly, Norma is one of the hottest new authors on the literary scene. The only question I have is, "When is the sequel coming out?" Two thumbs up!
