I went into this book expecting it to be more of a moving-and-starting-over book, but it turned out to be more of a troubles-and-healing book. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it at first (a disconcertingly disappointing feeling in the pit of my stomach as I had committed to reading it for a blog group and had received an ARC free for that purpose) but my initial feelings soon changed and I found that I loved the story. Paula and John met later in life and fell in love and married, but then John got shot in the course of his job as a reporter and life for the couple changed dramatically. A very good read.
