Publisher Description

Elementary-school teacher Jane Aaron cancels her summer vacation plans and heads to Cedar Springs, Texas, to find her birth mother. While there, she's hired by Asher Price, a wealthy widower, to look after his 13-year-old daughter, Riley, and five-year-old son, Levi. Around town, Jane also hears rumors that an older woman was killed in the same car accident that claimed Asher's wife.

As Jane finds herself growing attached to the children, she discovers how a woman can come to love children she didn't give birth to, exactly as her adoptive mother must have done. Just as she and Asher are falling in love, Jane suspects that Asher's late wife might actually have been her mother. With this possible bizarre coincidence between them, neither feels comfortable pursuing a relationship, and Jane goes back home to her teaching job in Houston broken-hearted. But after she discovers that her birth mother was the other woman killed in the accident, Jane returns to Cedar Springs - and this time, Asher, Riley, and Levi refuse to let Jane leave town.

"I loved this book almost as much as The Summer of Two Wishes. Julia London has a knack for writing books I can not seem to put down. She made thoughtful, wonderful, believable characters. She touched topics that can sometimes be hard with grace and dignity. I love that there were touches of characters from The Summer of Two wishes. It was nice to revisit Cedar Springs. Love this book and look forward to reading more by this author."

    " It was a quick and fluffy read. I found it very predictable and thought some of the descriptive parts were overdone to the point of being unnecessary. On the other hand it did suck me in and I ignored my children while finishing it! "

    " Nice to see a romance that isn't too cheesy and without a wisecracking-friend(TM) or nagging family. Is it weird that I liked it for what it DIDN'T have? I didn't understand why -with her awesome family- she was so intent on finding her birth mother, but I am not adopted. "

    " The heroine wants to find her birth mother. Could she be the rather Rebecca*esque deceased wife of her employer? Another modern governess tale. There were some good parts but the overall, not a keeper. Don't know that I really liked either the heroine or the hero. Did like his two children. "
