'Til death do us part ... when her DEA agent husband's plane went down, Zoey Witherspoon thought her life was over. But with two kids to care for, and another on the way, she moved back home to Sweetwater to be closer to friends and family. Two years later, her world was turned upside down: her husband was alive! Amnisia-stricken Dane wasn't exactly the same person he'd been, but neither was Zoey. She refused to return to the fractrued marriage they'd shared---workaholic Dane had never been around--yet moving forward was a scary prospect. Would a second chance at happiness make all her dreams come true? Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

The couple in this book have been married for several years by the time this novel starts. The husband, a DEA agent, crashed in the Amazon 2.5 years before and was presumed dead--instead, he had amnesia which only recently resolved enough for him to return to his unsuspecting family. So we don't have the common-to-the-genre issue of the couple only knowing each other for a short time before they are engaged or married.

*****
The plot deals with several important factors:
*Kids sometimes think that they are at fault when bad things happen (such as Blake thinking him telling his dad he didn't care if he ever came back was the reason his dad did not return).
*Men and women have different communication needs. Women often want men to share what they're feeling. Men have often been taught that they shouldn't feel or that they should only feel certain emotions (like anger).
*Control and Trusting God: we seem to want to feel we are in control when in reality, we're not in control of anything. Sometimes things from our past make us feel like we can't trust God to be there for us (prayers that we think go unanswered or prayers that aren't answered in the way we want them to be answered).
*Alcoholism: Dane's father was an alcoholic. This gives him insight into what Eddy faces.
*Teen problems: Various teens in the book deal with: having an alcoholic parent, following another teen who leads them into criminal behavior (robberies), losing a parent, having a parent reappear in their lives, drug abuse. Zoey is correct in that some teens don't feel comfortable going to the school counselor--whether it is because of peer pressure (other students or their friends might see them) or fear that their problem will get back to the wrong people in the small town or some other reason. It's probably good that they will have another option in the youth center--whether it be from adults or peer counseling. ( )
