Couldn't put the book down..Nov 09, 2006
By Kris L. Angerthal
A great book about tolerance, love, and motherhood. The author did such a great job of making you truly feel the feelings of the main character, Millie. The book takes twists and turns you don't see coming and it keeps you coming back for more. It is a great book for anyone to read.

real life wrapped in a vacationSep 18, 2006
By lalain
My mom bought me this book and I picked it up and read it cover-to-cover the same day. Not many books catch my attention enough to not get put down, but this one did.
Millie, the main character, is lovable and her story so relatable. Who hasn't wanted to live an overseas adventure complete with a gorgeous Italian man? When baby Enzo enters the picture, the vacation life fades as real life issues take over. The author was adept at building the characters' stories and wrapping them up well, but not in the all-too-common magic fairy-tale ending way. As I read the last paragraph, I found myself ready for a sequel -- what happens next?
Intelligent and very readable, I happily recommend this novel.

Love of her lifeJun 20, 2007

"Romance author"
Wendy Ramer has crafted a delightful story that will pull on your heartstrings with her strong feeling for her son, and characters' great emotional depth. It promises to mesmerize readers with its poignancy.
With her setting in lovely Italy, it will draw you in to a turbulent family and its sensitive plot. Truly a page turner and wonderful read from this fresh, new voice.

Remarkable NovelApr 25, 2007
By barbara silkstone
Wendy Ramer's enthralling tale of a mother's greatest fear - the loss of her child - is a true page-turner. I stayed up all night and kept reading; I had to see if Millie would prevail. Ramer is a wonderful, suspenseful writer. I hope to read more from her in the future.

Read it in one night...couldn't put it down!!!Nov 28, 2006
By Linda Chek

Talk about a page-turner! As first novels go, this one's got it all: an emotionally charged storyline, believable and relatable characters, and a realistic, satisfying ending. The author has a remarkable turn of phrase, with language elevated enough to demand your focus yet facile enough to draw you into the story and its many twists. Any mother--no, any PARENT--will feel the pain and outrage of the main character, Millie, and suffer along with her on her road of trials. And any human being will be able to laugh and cry along with Millie as her story reaches its very real conclusion, though hopefully not its end. Kudos, Mrs. Ramer...we're waiting for the next one!
