Marie’s Thoughts

This was an easy and fun read. I started it one night before bed and before I knew it, it was 1 am and I had read the whole thing. It is a story of a woman who has been through a rough ordeal starting a new life for herself. It is infused with humor, grace, and of course, the Southern charm one has come to expect from a Tonya Kappes novel. I’m looking forward to starting the second book in the series soon!
