When Grace Saunders vowed to take her husband for better or worse, she meant every word. She and Jamie are solid, mutually supportive, and certain of their future together. And then, on a hiking trip for their 15th anniversary, an accident leaves Jamie in a coma, unable to move or communicate. As months pass, Grace is in limbo - still married, yet utterly alone and burdened with responsibilities that threaten to sink her. Meeting Nan and Monica, unlikely friends who need Grace almost as much as she needs them, makes life bearable, if not quite happy.

Publisher's Summary
In a debut novel brimming with warmth and wit, Terri DuLong spins a tale of new beginnings, old friends, and lives forever bound....
A New Englander born and bred, the last place Sydney Webster expects to find herself starting over is on an island off the coast of Florida. Yet here she is in Cedar Key, trying to pull herself together after her husband's untimely death - and the even more untimely revelation of his gambling addiction. Bereft of her comfortable suburban life, Syd takes shelter at a college pal's bed and breakfast, where amidst the bougainvillea blossoms and the island's gentle rhythms, a plan begins to form....
Syd never considered the possibility of turning her passion for spinning and knitting into something more than a hobby, but when the unique composition of her wool draws attention, a door is opened - the first among many. Yet even as she ventures out of her comfort zone, Syd finds herself stepping into the embrace of a community rich with love, laughter, friendship...and secrets. And as long-hidden truths are revealed, Syd faces a choice: spin a safety net - or spin decidedly forward and never look back....

Cliche with little character development
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Someone who isn't paying much attention to the plot or the characters
Would you ever listen to anything by Terri DuLong again?
No--much too trite
What didn’t you like about Kate Udall’s performance?
Whiney
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
No--it was irritating
Any additional comments?
The author threw in every conceivable trite plot twist--adoption, gambling addiction, sex after 50, right to die--but never developed any of it.

good but predictable
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Not necessarily. The story was good but it had a predictable story line. However the description of they island and the smell of the island was great. Not bad but not great.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
When they had the blue moon ceremony. The least when she got mad at the party.
What does Kate Udall bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Emotions
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
No
