Publisher Description

Abandoned by the father of her child, May Taylor supports herself by her work as a gifted wedding planner with her best friend and great-aunt, carrying on the timeless traditions established by her grandmother and mother. She is a devoted mother to her daughter, Kylie - a very special child. For Kylie sees and hears things no one else can. Her unique visions will lead May to a love she never expected and a life she never imagined. Martin Cartier is a professional hockey player and sports legend. Women everywhere respond to his charm and good looks. But Martin's polished exterior barely hides a core of rage and bitterness. Haunted by his father's negligence and the sudden death of his daughter, he strives to win at all costs. Against all odds, May, Martin, and Kylie become a family. Gradually, May's compassion and Kylie's insight lead Martin to reveal the painful secrets of his past. But when May begins a search for Martin's estranged father, her efforts nearly destroy their relationship. Then Martin faces a threat to his career that his drive and strength cannot overcome. Only Kylie sees the way home - and only May can lead him there.

"I love this book. I've read it twice and am going to read it again as soon as my sister loans me the copy I gave HER for Christmas! She also loves it! It is a tearjerker, and we both found things we related to in it. I think it is my favorite Luanne Rice book and I love most of what I have read by her. I sent her a letter recently that I'd written when I read it while working for Colorado DOC. She responded that she would like to give some books to my library. So I sent her information for the Colorado prison libraries and hope that she is able to donate some to them now. Really....read it!!! :)"

    " A single mother struggles to care for her young daughter, who is able to see and speak to beings no one else can see. When a being tells the daughter about an impending disaster, the girl asks for help from a man, Martin. Martin has problems of his own already, but together, the ghost and the young girl will help the family. It's an interesting tale with a touch of the supernatural. Very enjoyable. "

    " I liked the relationship between the two... Love happens for mysterious reasons. I was personally touched by the description of the hero having trouble facing his injury - denying it, adapting to it, so much like my husband when he faced heart failure. The story uses blindness to force the person to see the love connection buried under layers of pain and mistakes. This is very profound as I see blindness happening right now to my mother-in-law and she is definitely struggling with it. what soul lesson does she need to learn in this lifetime? It is not for me to point out... sigh! "

    " I read the Reader's Digest condensed version of this book. Well done; I don't see why a additional 300 pages would be necessary. This book was definitely different than what I normally read but a quick easy distraction about angels, ghosts, hockey, and blindness. "

    " I pretty much like anything dealing with hockey by default but I usually stay far, far away from romance novels. This one actually had a rather interesting story around it and I actually enjoyed it. "

    " I generally enjoy Luanne Rice's novels because all the little details of the settings and characters make the story come to life. In this one, the heroine does get a bit annoying on the subject of forgiveness (a big theme in the story) but otherwise this was an enjoyable read. "
