Editorial Reviews

This is a touching book about one woman's journey of self discovery and examines how memories and dreams cycle into the cycle of life, and how home never leaves the core of who we are. I read the book with a box of tissues next to me, and I would recommend anyone who reads the book does the same. It's not that it's a sad story. It's more that it's cathartic and cleansing, spiritual and moving, and will likely stir up emotions in those who read the book.It's also a funny and witty and suspensful.

"For Every Goodbye" has all the elements I like in a good book: A character who searches for deeper meaning to life (and how what's happened in the past can dictate, and even derail, the future); a thread of spirituality running through the story; complex family dynamics - and just enough romance and steam to keep it interesting! The story also includes the relationship of the lead characters and the two dogs in their lives.

Very romantic, thoughtfully written and it still manages to tackle a lot of the topics that life hurls at Baby Boomers, in particular. I liked Kate (the heroine) a lot, but her mother, Nora, is a woman to be admired. I'd recommend it; it's great summer reading.

The heroine deals with things all of us can relate to. Anyone over 40 knows it's not easy becoming a parent to your parent, or confronted with the possibility your job might disappear (especially these days). She also is questioning whether or not she can be certain the person she loves will be there for the long haul. Maybe it was Christmas, which is pretty much a time for reflection, anyway, but the book touched me. It's a small gem.

This is a well-crafted novel that really touches the heart strings (I cried several times while reading it). But it's also an uplifting tale of how a person can redirect his or her life. It made me think about the choices I have made, or I will have to make. But more than just a thought-provoking book, it's also a really great read.
