Nice! - By: Droopy_Ears, 14 Aug 2007 
This book like Gerri Hill's others have the same theme - love, passion, finding one's self. This was an emotional book & the characters were exciting. Definitely worth the read!
and she does it again... - By: RD, 09 Dec 2006 This is a story about true love & soulmates. If you believe that there is one person out there for each one of us then this book will speak to you.
Kay & Jackie were the best of friends as children & teens until Jackie was thrown out of town by her mother for being a lesbian. Leaving without saying goodbye to anyone jackie promises never to return & make her own way. 15 years later she is a succesful author & in her own mind has no family, until she gets a calll asking she attend her fathers funeral & the reading of his will. She returns to Pine city only to find it, & her feelings for Kay, relatively unchanged.
There's more to this book than the love story with the charged relationship with jackie's mother & her new inheritance being more troublesome than she expected.
A beautiful book which i would recommend to anyone who is already a fan of Ms Hill as well as those who aren't!
Gerri Hill, Wow! - By: Lorraine, 13 Aug 2006 Jacqueline Keys was ostracized from her smalll hometown of Pine Springs, Texas when she was seventeen, sent away because she was gay. Her family was the largest employer in the county, owning Pine Springs Lumber, & her father was mayor of this smalll town. Her mother could not accept the fact that her only child was gay, could not tolerate the gossip about her family. So, with a hundred dollars in her pocket & a one-way bus ticket out of town, Jacqueline was told not to come back until she had come to her senses. And that included being prepared to marry the son of a business associate of the family.
Fifteen years later--long after she'd hitch-hiked to Los Angeles, long after she'd worked nights to put herself through college, & long after she'd written her first best seller, No Place For Family--Jacqueline is persuaded to go back to the tiny town of Pine Springs after her father's death.
The quick trip she'd envisioned for the funeral turns into weeks as she learns her father's business is suddenly hers to manage. And she is also again face-to-face with the woman who, as a teen, had been Jackie's first crush. She & Kay had been inseparable as kids, & later as teens. They find themselves fallling back into their old habits, & Jackie is soon fighting the same feelings she'd had when she was seventeen.
But living behind the pine curtain, Kay is afraid of her love for Jackie, afraid of what her family will say, afraid of how the town will react. Jackie refuses to hide, refuses to crawl back into the closet, so once again, she leaves Pine Springs . . . alone.
Will Kay let her go? Or will Kay follow her heart?
