![]() This story’s external conflict happened years ago when the war separated them this story is the internal reckoning as they face the emotions from their unexpected reunion. Imagine her dismay not only at being discovered, but also at having to reevaluate everything she thought she knew about their past, present, and future. Rachel knew Nathan would never understand her need to fight for the Patriots so she faked her own death three years earlier to join the army, leaving Nathan and his domineering and controlling mother behind. Shortly before the battle at Yorktown, she spies a man who she knows must be a British spy, her husband Nathan.

Heavily pregnant Libby craves rest and time away from responsibility – and her cramped New York City apartment - before the birth of her third child, and she's excited to immerse herself in the storybook small-town life that Once in a Lifetime made famous, even if the town has seen better days. And that lands both women in the small town of Sunshine Falls, just outside Asheville, N.C., for a month. Hard-edged in the workplace, Nora (named after the late romantic comedy luminary Nora Ephron) has a deep dedication to being her younger sister's keeper - since their mother's death when Nora was in college. Though her favorite writer likens her to a shark (much to her horror), Nora mostly bares those sharp teeth in service of loved ones and clients. Nora and Charlie share the same ambitions and priorities, feel like outsiders, and most of all, are both very loyal to family. She tries to run off.Ī few meetings later, it's clear that their surface rivalry masks similarities and chemistry. ![]() ![]() He turns around, and there's her grumpy Mr. ![]() Nora is checking about the cute guy in line for coffee.

Pogue has so much potential. ![]() I thought the plot of Dragon Slippers was a little more exciting than Tuesdays at the Castle, but hopefully it will click with you more.Ī Canadian Girl, Oh yes, I can see you liking this one! I'm curious to see what you think of the castle. Rummanah, Aw, too bad! But I can understand that.

I agree, the magical castle is just as good, especially Castle Glower.Īlex, :D Puppies are the ultimate trump card.
