I love Katherine's books and her writing!

Sam is our MC, who loses her beloved by all boss, elementary school principal at their Galveston school. His replacement is none other than Duncan who Sam worked with at another school. But the Duncan that appears take the guy she remembers.... This Duncan is too serious! Though as we find out why he seemed to have changed from the fun loving guy Sam knew, it's very understandable!

I loved all (save one) characters! I love that the theme of this book is to choose joy, even in hard circumstances. I empathized with Sam and her struggle as I have seen a little bit of what she goes through with my daughter. Clay is such a special little kid and what he does near the end of the book is such an inspiring moment!

I am a huge fan of Katherine's, definitely an auto buy author for me!
