What a lovely book
Titus has been working his family's land since his siblings went off and chased their dreams, but Titus stayed on the farm. His dad has agreed to sell and now the siblings are coming home and they will learn the fate of the farm, but first Titus must go out on a rescue mission - to the one spot he made a mistake he can never forgive himself for.
Titus is a quiet hero, I am not even sure if he sees himself as someone women would be interested in. He is focused on a dream he is trying to realize, but his moral code wont let him pursue. I have to say I kept on thinking of George Bailey in "It's A Wonderful Life" whenever Titus talked of needing to get out of town and finally chasing his dreams. Like George, Titus put the needs of others over his own. He is a caring man, one who takes great responsibilty for others.
Ocean is a heroine many can relate to, she is picking up the pieces when her career, her calling, didn't seem to work out. She has loved Titus most of her life, but figures he never knew. just another thing she failed at; her career, her love life and her friend.
Titus is called to rescue a hiker, and finds it is Ocean. The last person he would ever want to see on the mountain, as she is a glaring reminder of his failure. Ocean has issues she is trying to move past with the hike. Determination beats out common sense and from that brings closure to both Ocean and Titus. This was my absolute favorite part of the story.
Yes this a book is about a hike in the woods and selling the family farm, but it is so much more. There is tenderness, some steam, wisecracks, telling of old tales, a little mystery and a few setups for future books.
A great read when you just want a nice small town story, that gives you all that small time charm.
