He is an amazing man who loved his wife very much. She poured her heart and soul into the book, and she did amazing job. I made me cry and smile all the time! I am sad I won't be able to move on to the second book for a couple of months but I know that it will be worth the wait." - Erica (Read June 16 to July 20, 2013)
