Love that and how the problems the different generations are faced with, are handled. Realize author knows about hurricanes with the words in the story and how to relief the pressure. She does her homework.
Love how Dr. Charlie steps back after all the help and caring Elizabeth has given him. It's for her own good. Ypu wonder if she will ever learn of his secrets or if he will leave the area like his last place of occupation… Excellent story. Other works by the author are listed at the end.

Again Alabama by Susan Sands
Story starts out with Cammie and she is returning to help take care of her elderly mother. She owns Evangeline Events where people go for special events. Cammie me not only takes care of her but the meals that were to be catered by someone else in town. Story is also following Gray who lives next door with his father and his daughter. They had a history together but there are a lot of missing pieces a lot of secrets and a lot of mysteries. It's really interesting to see how this whole story evolves. what I really love about it is it is about different age groups from a fourth grade child to around 80-year-old and everything in between. All the problems that arise and how they deal with them and how solutions are made. Great read for the story, very descriptive. Left me with warm feelings towards them all. Excerpt for the next in series is included. There is another book in a different series that has an excerpt also at the end.… (mere)
