He takes a liking to her; although, he does his best to ignore it as he's already made a commitment to Mary Ellen. Besides, he and Rebecca are from different towns, different states. Yet despite his best efforts, as the days go by, he continues to be drawn to her. And then his girlfriend Mary Ellen shocks both Justin and the entire town with a decision of her own.
I reccomend this book and story. It starts out with rebecca going to stay with a elderly widow. The lady is very out spoken and rude. Esther the elderly lady decides to go spend a month right before christmas. Read this story and find out what happens.
Never quite sure what was going to come out of Father's mouth next. Rebecca handled whatever was said well and could often excuse it as coming from Esther. Meeting the man next door was unexpected and feelings vs grow as they see each other without rose colored glasses.
