This audiobook will focus on Brad and Ashley Hanes, young newlyweds who are facing their first season of winter. Opposite work schedules, differing views on finances and when to start a family, and Brads selfish and immature habits are forcing the young couple apart, causing them to question why they ever got married in the first place. It will take a whole lot of help--mostly from their nosy but well-meaning neighbors--for Ashley and Brad to pull their marriage out of the winter blues and into a hopeful spring. As usual, the residents of Deepwater Cove will pop in and out of the story to delight readers. Theyll encounter Cody and see his continued independence and growing friendship with Jennifer; Patsy and Petes escalating romance; and Charlie, a recent widower who is taking on the challenges and excitement of his golden years with zeal.

"The last book in the series, this one was probably the most sad. Witnessing the relationship of Brad and Ashley collapse in less that a year of marriage was heartbreaking. Still, it helps you learn a lot about healthy and unhealthy patterns in building a family. liked it a lot."

— Bednarzterry, 3/13/2012" Last book in the series. Reminds me a little of Jan Karon's style, but not quite as good. This one was disappointing in that it focused to specifically on one set of characters in the town...the others in the series seemed to include more of the townspeople. "
