THERE ARE DAYS ON WILLOW LAKE ...

Daisy Bellamy has struggled for years to choose between two men --- one honorable and steady, one wild and untethered. And then, one fateful day, the decision is made for her.

WHEN THE WIND IS SO STILL AND THE WATER SO CALM ...

Now busy with a thriving business on Willow Lake, Daisy knows she should be happy with the life she's chosen for herself and her son. But she still aches for the one thing she can't have.

YOU CAN ALMOST HEAR YOUR HEART BEAT ...

Until the man once lost to her reappears, resurrected by a promise of love. And now the choice Daisy thought was behind her is the hardest one she'll ever face ...

My Review:

This is the type of novel that makes you cry big, ugly tears, then puts you back together again. Wiggs writes with an eloquence that speaks to your heart. Life and love come to the forefront as heartbreak strikes close to home. The in-depth and intricately crafted novel took me on an emotional rollercoaster while providing me a glimpse into the Catskills.

Throughout most of this novel I felt as if the two main characters were stuck between a rock and a hard place. Both of their individual struggles broke my heart, yet at the same time, also gave me hope. The intimate look at daisy’s photography was like a window into her soul. Julian is a hoot and a half throughout most of this novel, torn between love, duty, and an adrenaline addiction. I thoroughly enjoyed the look at how everything that happened affected Charlie. Even as a child he was a major player in the novel and a key component in his parents’ lives.

Once again Wiggs has created a novel that captured me heart & soul. Her one of a kind storytelling combines with her intricate detail to bring it all to life.
