Barnes & Noble Guide to New Fiction

From the best-selling author of On Mystic Lake comes this "sweet" story of an ordinary man who makes an extraordinary decision, gambling with a thorny question: Can the enduring love of the one who stands beside you through thick and thin compete with the passion of the soulmate who sets your world on fire? "Didn't evoke a lot of emotion." "The writing was more melodramatic than it needed to be." But others "read the book in three hours!" And called it "my staff recommendation."

Washington Post

Hannah is superb at delving into her main character's psyches and delineating nuances of feeling.

Publishers Weekly

Set amid the splendor of Washington State's North Cascade mountain range, Hannah's latest (after On Mystic Lake) borrows elements from soap opera, the silver screen and fairy tales to make a simple statement about the complications of love. Dr. Liam Campbell is devastated when his beloved wife, Mikaela, mother of two, suffers a horse-jumping injury that leaves her in a coma. His confusion escalates when he learns the identity of Mikaela's first husband: world-famous movie star Julian True. The biggest shock: True's is the only name she responds to. Liam senses that his Sleeping Beauty needs love to wake her up, but whose? Given the depth of his feelings for her, will he be brave enough to summon True for help, and so risk losing Mikaela forever in order to save her life? Scenes reminiscent of Kramer vs. Kramer occur where Liam tries to be mom to their nine-year-old son; the suds world takes over when Mikaela finally wakes, but with retrograde amnesia, thinking she's still married to True and with no memory of Liam; and It's a Wonderful Life brings the curtain down. In keeping with the popular convention of giving voice to spirituality, the novel employs religious overtones, which will please some readers while leaving others feeling molested by an angel. Mikaela and Liam are sweet characters, even relentlessly good ones, so many will find them likable even as they float smoothly toward an easy conclusion. 125,000 first printing. (Apr.)
