LET ME HEAL YOUR HEART
First loves are not easily forgotten…
Anna has endured more by the age of eighteen than most do in a lifetime. Unless you know her, you see only the beautiful, privileged, bright college freshman who seems to have it all. Few people know what she’s gone through or know who she really is.
Declan has never forgotten Anna and feels foolish for it. So young, and their time together so brief, but he still can’t shake the feeling that she was meant for him.
Fate can be cruel or fate can be kind…
By the time Anna and Declan come face to face again, time has passed, grief has changed them both and they’ve each found love and solace in someone else’s arms. Has too much time passed, or are the bonds of our first true love as strong as they feel when we’re young, innocent and consumed with the promise of forever?
Assessment:
In this tender yet challenging coming-of-age romance, college students Anna Clarke and Declan Banks must come to terms with families shattered by tragic deaths and ponder the futures of their safe but troubled romantic relationships. While the characters are likable and fully-developed and the tragedy of their situations effectively portrayed, the pacing is somewhat unbalanced, with Declan’s progress lagging far enough behind Anna’s -- which can, at times, frustrate readers. But the author’s sensitive handling of difficult material is commendable and, despite some frustrations, the story remains emotionally engaging on its way to a satisfying conclusion.
