And each time the simple fact that he was reminded her of her father and how much the two men had in common.She knew this time when she arrived at her mother’s that wasn’t going to be the case. It wasn’t that she was avoiding him. Her entire family thought he was great including her mother. Then there was Lizzie. It was rare they had a conversation where she didn’t bring Clay up. Twila adored Lizzie Patterson and even though she knew it was juvenile she wasn’t keen on sharing her childhood hero with Clay Tobin...she also wasn't thrilled about her unexpected feelings for him.And then there was also the story of Lizzie and Harry...Years ago Mallie Westin left her home because she felt she had no choice. Now years later, the choice is hers. The Heart of the Canyon series is about the strength of family, the endurance of friendship, and the unwavering and unconditional longing for home…and all it means. Each Day Since is the fourth in the series.

About the author

I fell in love with books when I was in the 4th grade and my free period was spent volunteering in the school library. I read every Nancy Drew book there was to check out, discovered collections of myths and fairy tales from around the world, Louisa May Alcott and C.S. Lewis, and decided I wanted my own library. By the end of that summer with the supplies our school librarian graciously provided me my books had due date slips, card pockets, book cards, and black electrical tape on the spine with the first three letters of the author's last name. I still have most of those books.
In the hope she could get me involved in something else my mother gave me a camera. Right around the same time my father told me I could use his typewriter when he wasn't using it. The typewriter won. We shared his typewriter but I also filled notebooks with stories scribbled before school, after school, and often when I was supposed to be asleep. Thanks to my mother, who saved just about every single one of those notebooks, I still have them as well.
Several years ago my father gave me his typewriter…the same one we shared all those summers ago. Every time I look at it I remember the young 4th grade girl who was quietly encouraged to do what she loved…and years later reminded with a box filled with notebooks crammed full of handwritten stories and dreams.
And it’s still not unheard of that I stay up way later than I should with a good book that’s just impossible to put down.

A very good story

I, have been reading non stop and am now wondering when the next installment will be here. Need to know how lizzie will do acting again after being out of it for so long. And we have not found what was under the trap door Clay had found. And how his friendship is going with Mallie's oldest daughter is faring. And what is the reason why Harry wants to be friends with Lizzie again. Anyway I feel lost until we get that next book.

Wanted more day before

Good pacing. Characters consistent. Vocabulary varied. Needed backstory. Not a - stand alone. Will enjoy the series and will follow this author.
