Always With You
By Andrea
Hurst
Genre: Women’s Fiction
1977 is a glorious time to be alive in the beautiful wine country of Northern California, and Cathy has everything she thought she wanted - from a thriving health food café to loyal friends.
Since the devastating failure of her short-lived marriage, Cathy has buried herself in her work and kept men at arm’s length. But when an old high school friend, Pam, brings her family for a short stay, Cathy’s stone walls begin to crumble when she meets Jamie. Jamie, whose compassion and warmth slowly break down her defenses. Jamie, whose devotion to his four-year-old daughter melts Cathy's heart and makes her desperate for a family of her own. Jamie… who is married to Pam.
A profound love that transcends time and place is impossible to resist. But is love more important than friendship? Are loyalty and fidelity an anchor or a chain? In the end, it’s all about choices – tough ones that can break hearts. Now Cathy must make the most difficult choice of her life.
My Review
I was initially drawn to the amazing details of the book's setting. I could visualize the lush countryside. I quite liked Cathy and thought she was a well-balanced character. It was hard for me to feel sorry for her friend, Pam, when Cathy began to fall in love with her husband, Jaime. Pam is a very shallow person and I didn't care much for her. Pam and Jaime's young daughter brought a sweetness to the story that I enjoyed.
Always With You is a feel good book even with the difficult moments surrounding the unusual love triangle. I recommend this book to fans of women's fiction and for those who love happy endings.
