Teacher, Laura Stewart’s life is plodding along at a nice
steady pace. Until suddenly a blast from the past, thirteen years past to be
precise, nearly knocks her world of its axis. Memories, some good, some bad, all
buried deep in her subconscious come flying back with a vengeance to the
forefront. With them comes all the pain of Laura’s first true love.
Will Laura’s raw pain spoil her chance of a happy ever after
with the beautiful, but untouchable Emma Jenkins?
Will Laura put the past behind her, or will her mistakes be
repeated again?
I read this book years ago and really enjoyed it. I was so
pleased to see that it has been re-published and is now available in ebook. LT
Smith is an accomplished writer. Her books are a delight to read and her wit and
humor is wonderful.
This is an easy and comfortable read. The story is told from
Laura’s point of view and follows through from her teens and her first love
through to adulthood. There is a melting pot full of emotions running rife
throughout, with a lot of intense drama and angst both from the teenage Laura
and Emma through to the adult Laura and Emma. But, there is a lot of laughter
too.
Both Laura and Emma have their own hidden secrets and desires.
Their young love would probably have never survived. Once they get everything
out in the open, maybe their more mature love will stand a chance. It’s the path
of true love we read about here. A path that isn’t smooth along the way and
comes to a dead end until new ground is broken for a new path. A wonderful story
that will stay with me a long time.
Although I’ve read this book three times now, I will still be
reading it again. As I’m British, I love the British sense of humor. Having said
that, I feel that the humor can be appreciated by our overseas friends too.
I look forward to reading more from LT Smith
soon.
