LaVyrle Spencer, known for her "heartrending slices of Americana", writes of how love can be more special the second time around in this New York Times best seller.

It is 1916, and Roberta Jewett is surprised to find that her hometown of Camden, Maine, considers a divorced woman little more than a prostitute. Condemned by her mother and scorned by neighbors, she nonetheless perseveres in her struggle to forge a good life for her girls and herself. Behaving like no "respectable" woman would, she gets a job as a county nurse, learns to drive, and buys her very own Model T.

Embittered by her painful marriage to an unfaithful husband, she has no intention of being any man's victim again. So Roberta is taken aback to find the widowed carpenter Gabriel Farley has somehow found his way into her heart. And in the ultimate test of will and devotion, she must depend on the man she has grown to love - and summon the courage to stand up to an entire town.

I’m looking forward to more from this author. I really felt sorry for Roberta and her lack of parental protection from her mother as well as from her sister. The people in that small town were so narrow minded and judgmental. It was great to see how she handled it all.

Great story well written and portrayed.

I find that Spencer writes quite well and pulling you into the story, always giving you a little flip in the middle to bring you around and see the heart of all the factors in the story.

I enjoyed this book, but I can’t believe I didn’t read in anyone’s reviews a warning about a rape scene. It’s handled quite well in the book, but I am putting this out there for anyone who needs to know that going in! I can’t imagine some of my friends listening to this and finding themselves going through those emotions again.

Trigger warning-rape
