"This is the 2nd book in the Candlewood Trilogy. I liked this book better than the first. But it is definitely necessary to read the first, as it sets everything up for this book."

" 2nd book in the candlewood series was better than the 1st. A beautiful story of love, forgiveness, birth, marriage and even death "
— Brenda, 10/27/2013" It seems really odd to me that Emma is usually called Widow Garrett! Not exactly how we do things today. Its been a few years since I read the first book in the triology but this book did a good job of bringing it back to me and I really enjoyed it. "
