Adam
Colby’s divorce leaves him bitter and questioning whether true love really
exists. As he was cleaning up after an
estate sale he came across an album full of postcards. Each postcard contained a poem written by
Gabe Alexander to his wife Pearl (a.k.a. Huck).
Adam was intrigued by the depth of their love and set out on a quest to
find out more about this couple. Yvette
is the only one who knows Gabe and Huck’s story. At first she is reluctant to meet with Adam
but she soon realizes he is just the right person to gain insight into this
beautiful love story.
I
really enjoyed reading this book and loved the front cover. The story mainly focuses on the lives of Gabe
and Huck with interjections of Adam’s life.
Although I enjoyed most of the story, I felt some of storyline was unnecessary
and not developed enough. Without
getting into too much detail, there is a part in the book where Huck runs into
her ex-fiancé. I found this part of the
story to be a little unrealistic and disturbing.
I also felt that the story about Adam and Yvette was not developed
enough. I know they were not meant to be
the main focus of this book but I feel like their story could have been
portrayed better. Overall I think this
was a good book with a great love story.
One interesting fact that the author shared is how this story is “loosely”
based off of the lives of his great aunt and great uncle. I look forward to reading more from this author.

received this book for free from WaterBrook
Multnomah Publishing Group in exchange for my honest review.
