Warm-hearted, satisfying conclusion to the Candlewood Trilogy. Delia Parr is at her best in this series and also the Trinity series. Recommend to fans of this genre.
I enjoyed this book. It is a nice read about a time long past. You need to read the previous books first so you understand the characters and their relationships.
