For hockey lovers…as well as those who don’t love or know hockey!
Hockey is a huge
part of life for many families, but others are unaware of this world. As only an
experienced hockey mom can, the author weaves a story that relates in some way
to the concerns of every family.
Allie, a
figure skater, reluctantly turns to her long-time neighbor, Tucker, an ex-professional
hockey player, to save her ice rink. Allie and Tucker had known each other
since childhood, but the relationship had become complicated. The past keeps
her away; yet today she needs him. Will she be able to ask for help when she has
not forgiven him for the hurt he caused?
There are
many questions to be answered and mysteries to be solved as Allie and Tucker are
thrown together. With humor, irony and great dialogue, the story explores complex
issues of life. A pleasant read as well as thought-provoking. Once involved in
the story, I found myself ignoring the everyday duties of life to keep reading!
Though I received
a free advance copy of the book, this review is based on my honest reaction to
the story. Enjoy!
