Shame desperately depends on secrecy for its survival in this multi-generational story of love and loss.
JILTED THREE WEEKS BEFORE HER WEDDING, Beth Dawson escapes sunny California for the snowy Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where a young State Trooper challenges her to let go of her rules for Christian courtship. Her domineering mother chides her to stay single and wants her to talk her ailing grandmother into moving to Los Angeles.
COPPER ISLAND averages over 200 inches of snow annually. The fictional towns of Douglass and Quincy mirror the actual towns of Houghton and Hancock. Although the names of businesses and persons are imaginary, the history, landmarks, and spirit described in the novel are real.

I love Michigan and I found Neva to be very detailed and on point with her writing about it. I like a good romance as well and again Neva did a great job in that department.
I like books set in small towns, I love how reading this book it felt like I was right there in Michigan.
I am excited to read book two in this series. Bring it on Neva.
