"We pull into the driveway, from what feels like the longest car ride of my life. Neither of us gets out and we just sit there. I can feel him looking at me. I can’t look back at him. “How do I choose? How do we choose? How does anyone choose?”
What People Are Saying
“Amazing story, of a great family. Love conquers all. You won’t want to put this down. You can really identify with the characters, and feel what they’re going through.”
— Betsy - Goodreads
“If you like retro vibes, small town romance, and the thrill of a race car track, you'll love MaryLou. Set in a Pacific Northwest logging town in the 1950's-1980's, the story follows bright, music-loving MaryLou as she grows from ambitious child, to lovestruck teen, to empowered woman, and all of the people whose lives she touches along the way. Read it with a spoonful of peanut butter and chocolate chips and a box of tissues. I've already read it more than once and I cry every time!”
— Railee - Goodreads
“Grab a box of tissues and settle in for a wonderful story that will tug at your heart strings!”
— Carol - Goodreads
“Set in the Pacific Northwest- the author paints a picture of the landscape as well as the true intricacies of community and family dynamics. A story of true love- two soul mates forced to live parallel lives until fate and perfect timing brought them their own family. Then harsh realities changed their lives forever. I laughed, I gasped, I cried... the author's timing was impeccable and every story was perfectly strung together. Definitely worth the read!”
