Summer Light by Luanne Rice

This one fell into my lap off someone's book shelf, an unexpected pleasure. There are many reasons I enjoyed this work of beautiful fiction. One, I adore hockey and appreciated the references to my favorite game. Secondly, and perhaps most importantly, the language used to create this novel is nothing short of amazing. Ms. Rice clearly spent time considering all ways to a present her ideas and choosing the one that painted the most vivid picture. I was not expecting much from this book, but it delivered.  This is now taking a spot of honor on my bookshelf among personal favorites to be reread. Bravo! 4 smiles for a beautiful story of strength.
