This is the third book from the Bridges of Madison County trilogy. You really should read them in this order: Bridges, A Thousand Country Roads, and High Plains.
A Thousand Country Roads was a little bit of a let down, but High Plains is wonderful. Out of the three, this was my favorite. True love wins!

Carlisle is somewhat of a drifter who decides to settle on the high plains of Montana near the small town of Salamander. As he demonstrates his expertise at carpentry by remodeling the old house on his new property, he becomes accepted by the locals and develops friendships and romantic relationships. But just as he becomes part of the community, his life is disrupted by threats to everything he has built including his relationships.
I didn’t expect to like this book as much as I did because I had heard that it wasn’t as popular as the author’s previous bestseller. But, this story was a slow build with great character development and just enough philosophical thinking thrown in. I loved the way the various animals, both pets and wild creatures played roles in the story. And the ending was really nice - good resolutions for the main as well as minor characters.

I have enjoyed a lot of Waller's older stuff, but mostly nonfiction essays. Parts of this book are quite good, but it kind of falls apart in other places.
