I appreciated that the road to that silver lining was not a smooth, easy one. The possibility of understanding and forgiveness ran through as each hoped for her own silver lining. That said, it can stand alone because author Debbie Macomber gives just enough back story to bring a new reader up to speed.Īt first I wasn’t sure I’d enjoy the Katie and Coco storylines but that feeling didn’t last long as I was caught up in their dramas.
