This is a very short book, but there are some great insights in it. I've read quite a few of these "here's a picture, here's a brief business insight" books, and I do like the style. I guess I'd like to have seen a few of the insights taken deeper. "Put a dent in the universe" is a great concept, but how? I don't think this book is intended to give direction on the how, but I'd still have liked to see it.
Sometimes reading a book for a second time doesn't create as much anticipation and the initial reading but this novel is as fresh and engrossing as ever. Melissa D'Augustino, age 14 and mentally retarded is murdered. Her body is found in a pond in a cow pasture. Police Chief Nalen Storrow of Flowering Dogwood, Maine is at the scene and leading the investigation. Nalen is deeply troubled, not only because a crime like this couldn't happen in his quiet town but also because he feels protective for his 9 year old daughter, Rachel and fear that his 18 year old son might be involved. There is stress at home and tremendous stress on the job. This inner pressure takes its toll and the first part of the novel ends with Nalen trying to cope with his fears. Eighteen years go by and Rachel is now a detective and her brother works as a teacher's aide in the school for the blind and special needs. Claire Castillo is the teacher under whom Billy works as an aide. They have different approaches to the students but both are well liked by the children under their care. Claire does feel that Billy is becoming too friendly with a sixteen year old girl and has to remind Billy that although she has special needs, she is a young woman and he should be more professional. Off the job Billy and Claire seem to be developing a deeper relationship when Claire disappears. Old memories return, Rachel invesitgates and Billy is again a suspect. Blanchard has written a compelling story. She deals with the disabled children intelligently and her development of Rachel as a character is supurb. I enjoyed this portion of the story immensly but would have liked more psychological development of the time when Nalen was the police chief. Toward the end of the novel, when the reason behind the murder's actions are unraveled, this reader would have liked a better resolution. However, I feel that Blanchard was giving a lesson that all things in life do not come to satisfactory endings and justice doesn't always prevail. Highly recommended.
This is probably the third time I've re-read this and it was much harder to get through because of that!

Second of the Garden trilogy. A typical Nora Roberts book. Easy and romantic junk to read. However this time, the "star" of the book was an older woman, 47 years old, to be exact. It showed me that older women still can be sexually active, desired, and beautiful. One of the sentence in the book had struck the chord in me, for it explained me beautifully in words I've been struggling my whole life to find; "I'm a contradictory soul. I need my solitude, or I get mean. I get too much solitude, I get broody." - page 265

Goes with the book the Hero and the Sword. Blue Sword is the first one, and H&S is a prequel to read afterwards.

I really liked it. I can feel the emotions and suffering that Katie had gone through. I love how she managed to move on and get a new life. She struggles and it made her strong, i loved how plot and how it ends. It really made me cry, definitely one of my fave Nicholas Sparks novels. :))) I recommend this book to everyone. A must read novel. :)) Good Job Nicholas Sparks. You touched our hearts one more time:)))

I'm giving this book away. It was interesting, but didn't quite go into what I was hoping for. It was more of a brag session than "A Day in the Life..." and I guess I wasn't in the mood for it.
