Tamra Price is an occupational therapist who resides in Kansas with her husband and two children. During her years of practice as a therapist, Tamra has had multiple opportunities to witness the remarkable capacity of the human body and spirit not only to overcome, but to triumph in the wake of tragedy. She brings this to her writing with stories that center on resilience, hope, and second chances in life, love, and friendship.
The characters were real, going through life doing things we all do. The friendship was nostalgic and comfortable. The romance was fun and flirty without all the icky details. Fun read!
I typically go for a different type of reading material. However, I read this one because of the author. Wow, she made the characters come alive and they felt like family. I enjoyed the book and would recommend this to all.
