I just love about everything that comes from the pen of Mary Connealy and this short story counts right up there. Who doesn't love a schoolteacher romance? While in reading other stories I had already come to love tree character but through her story, I was able to cheer for her heart and watch things unfold as my pages turned. Excellent shorter read. I read this one via an eBook from Overdrive.
This was a great collection of stories! My favorite was the first, Clara and Neill's story, and it frankly was not long enough! My second favorite was Grace and Clayton's, and I especially loved Andrew and Lucy.
The last story, however, lost the book a star by falling a bit flat. The characters and plot had lots of potential but felt rushed and underdone. For example, we're told four times that Grace was a former teacher and is expecting, but don't get to spend long enough with the characters to be told anything twice except that Mark's eyes are blue. And normally I love Connealy stories.
