Review
Julia has moved to the small town of Smithville with her dog Ringo. She's looking for a place to hide after a serious illness that's left her debilitated but soon finds that small towns aren't good for being left alone. For starters, local deliveryman Chad has an eye on her as well as his employee Bobby and a mysterious black and white cat. But Chad has issues of his own that brought him back to town, and Julia's complications aren't what he wants - or does he?
This is a lovely story about recovering from illness after losing everything and finding a home. I especially liked the author's characterization of Julia who can be depressed and ornery but is still likable as she finds her true self while not losing the steel that imbued her former personality. Chad's a nice guy who takes care of others but has been a bit lost and finds his true home in Julia.
There are some funny incidents that made me laugh out loud but fit into the story well. I can relate to George's 'illness' as I had the same thing happen in my past.
I recommend a visit to Smithville; you won't regret it.
