I had a hard time relating to Heather and I think that kept me more disassociated from the heroine than I was in LARKSPUR COVE and FIREFLY ISLAND. She was such an unsympathetic character with her grudges and resentments. However, the author allows us to see how she evolves as her time of forced confinement in little Moses Lake, Texas, in the company of the mother and brother she is estranged from. She stumbles around trying to find the answers to her family\\\'s secrets, the mess of her life, and who she really is or wants to be. Blaine was likeable complication, and Ruth provided a moral compass for her.
