Ah, another feel good book. It's like watching Hallmark movies. Actually, I think this would make a terrific Hallmark movie. It's predictable, but you still want to go on the journey with the three main characters. You want an Arthur Truluv in your life. And while I could say it's about a young girl who befriends an elderly gentleman and goes to his house and eventually lives with him, it really wasn't creepy at all in the book like I just described it. And please don't think it is anything that resembles Harold and Maud, because it doesn't. It's a book about family, commitment, and where we can find happiness. Oh, and throw in a pinch of the importance of patience, and you've got yourself a good book.
Not 5 stars because apparently one character cooks extremely well. I was therefore expecting some good recipes at the end. Sorely disappointed, as I want to try the orange blossom cookies that were apparently heavenly. And I don't have Lucille's recipe, and so I cannot completely connect with the book until I have that recipe. I may have to email the author for it.
