This book was perfect. I loved it.  I was first introduced to Mrs. Jackson with one of her Westmoreland books.  I was immediately hooked.  I fell in love with the whole Westmoreland family.  I was not sure if her other book series would be as good.  Well I think I may have been wrong.  This is only the first book of the Maderis series and I am already hooked.  I was so skeptical about getting into this series, as I thought it would take away from the Westmoreland series if that makes sense.  I was just going to wait for the rest of the Westmoreland' s stories to be told. The next one is being released March 1st., which is just a few weeks away. I can't wait. I did just decide to continue reading books of hers until then.  I read three before this one.  Of course I enjoyed them all.  One of which was A Family Reunion.  That was a  very good one as well. Her books make you laugh, cry and feel the love and emotion the characters exude. I hate to give spoilers, so I will just say, this was a very beautiful story. A must read. I have only put it down to eat, feed my son, and to sleep. Literally. Lol.  Thank you Mrs. Jackson for entering my life. They may not all be written perfectly, but all of  the books you have written that I have picked out, the stories were perfect.  I have enjoyed them all.
