Nor does she want to admit she may be just like the grandmother she can't forgive.When as old boyfriend re-enters her life, Michelle is reminded nothing has worked out the way she hoped it would. Kyle Swann also makes her realize shutting her heart against the world could be the worst mistake she ever made. Love Begins is the first installment of the Tender Blessings contemporary series.
