Margaret Jacobsen is just about to step into the bright future she's worked for so hard and so long: a new dream job, a fiancé she adores, and the promise of a picture-perfect life just around the corner. Then, suddenly, on what should have been one of the happiest days of her life, everything she worked for is taken away in a brief, tumultuous moment. In the hospital and forced to face the possibility that nothing will ever be the same again, Maggie must confront the unthinkable. First there is her fiancé, Chip, who wallows in self-pity while simultaneously expecting to be forgiven. Then, there's her sister Kit, who shows up after pulling a three-year vanishing act. Finally, there's Ian, her physical therapist, the one the nurses said was too tough for her. Ian, who won't let her give in to her pity, and who sees her like no one has seen her before. Sometimes the last thing you want is the one thing you need. Sometimes we all need someone to catch us when we fall. And sometimes love can find us in the least likely place we would ever expect.

Had to stick with it submitted by smgop on August 6, 2020, 6:26pm I picked this up, put it down in distaste, then picked it back up again - glad I persevered!

Excellent comfort read submitted by Princess Cimorene on July 23, 2021, 6:52pm Katherine Center is a great author to read if you want something touching with a happy ending. This and Happiness for Beginners are her best books in my opinion. This one features a heroine with a lot of gumption and perseverence, which makes for a really good story.
