Publisher's Weekly

May 1, 2006
Henry's moist novel (following Where the River Runs) about true love and being true to yourself follows 27-year-old Southern belle Kara Larson on her journey to self-realization. Along the way, Kara has some major events to prepare for: her marriage to hunky 35-year-old pro golfer Peyton Ellers, whom she met through her job as a PGA tour manager, and the golf tournament she's organizing in her home town of Palmetto Pointe, South Carolina. But on top of wedding dress fittings and Palmetto Pointe Open publicity, Kara must serve community service to guarantee a place in the Palmetto Point Junior Society. So she heads to the nursing home for regular visits to Maeve Mahoney, a 96-year-old Irish lady who spins "a beautiful story of love and betrayal, full of truth." Maeve's words of wisdom help Kara realize she might not be over her childhood love Jack Sullivan, and that her true calling is photography, not golf tour management. Fans of earnest Southern women's fiction will appreciate the lessons here.

Starred review from April 1, 2006
South Carolina socialite Kara Larson is only two months away from marrying golf pro Peyton Ellers. It's a busy time, but in order to fulfill the community work membership condition of the Palmetto Pointe Junior Society, Kara has to visit 96-year-old Maeve Mahoney in a nursing home. An Irish storyteller, Maeve begins a spellbinding tale of a pair of legendary star-crossed lovers, but somewhere along the way, it morphs into the story of her own lost love. As she listens, Kara remembers her lost love, Jack Sullivan. As fate would have it, the band Kara hired for the big PGA event cancels. Now a popular musician, Jack takes the gig, and Kara realizes that her feelings for him have never died. The struggle between Kara's heart and conscience takes on life-or-death dimensions, and there is no predicting the outcome. Known for her lyrical writing in " Losing the Moon" (2004) and " Where the River Runs" (2005), Henry doesn't disappoint in this beautiful novel of discovery and self-acceptance, a romance with universal appeal.
