The cover of this book was absolutely beautiful! I was looking forward to reading it just because the cover indicated a beautiful story that would be fun to read. I hadn't heard of Miralee Ferrell and was a little concerned about starting on book 3 in a series. I am always hesitant to do that because I'm not certain if it's going to be a book where I really needed to read the ones before it in order to understand where this book picks up. Rest easy that this book is one that you an pick up and be okay starting in book 3. I'm sure the first two books added a lot of information that would have bee helpful, but I never felt lost with the characters or the plot.
If I had to sum up the characters in one word, I would say: real. Each character had good things and bad things. So many issues were brought up that had to be dealt with. For Leah, she had to grieve over her mom's death. Not only that, but her dad became a man that she didn't even know. In fact, to mention her father leads to so much emotion, frustration, and hurt.
Steven is that night in shining armor, I think! He had such a huge heart and much compassion. His life isn't void of real, hard situations either, though. I really enjoyed this sweet story involving both of them.
Now that I've taken this journey through Oregon, I might need to read the first two books since I enjoyed this one so much!

Hi Megan, thank you so much for reading and reviewing my book. What a lovely review, and I'm thrilled that you're a first-time reader of my work--and I do hope it won't be the last time. I do believe you'd enjoy meeting the other characters and seeing the depth in each of of their individual stories, beginning with Blowing on Dandelions, then Forget Me Not (a shorter book at only 162 pgs), then the full length Wishing on Buttercups....and Dreaming on Daisies may or may not be the end. I'm still considering giving Tom his own story, but we'll see! Thank you again and God bless.
