"Counting Stars"

Imagine falling in love with someone you know is going to die, and having them ask you to pick up the pieces of their life after they are gone. Now imagine that 'picking up the pieces' means taking care of his preemie twin babies. That's what happens to Jane in "Counting Stars", by Michele Paige Holmes.

Jane has nearly given up on love, but in a half hearted attempt to give love one last chance she decides to answer an ad in the wanted pages that simply says, "Seeking kind, loving woman to be the mother of my children".  How bad could it be, right? By responding to that ad Jane throws herself into a new life where she instantly becomes a mother of two and the only support for a man who just lost his wife and is dying of cancer himself. She couldn't have known the love, loss, heartache and immeasurable happiness that she would find.

This book will make you laugh, will definitely make you cry, and will make you picture the story in your head even when you're not actually reading it. Don't miss out on this heart-wrenching love story. It's a fairly easy read, will probably take around a week (unless, like me, you can't put it down. In which case you will get through it in a couple of days). I also would go back and reread the page or two I just read, simply because it was so good that I had to go over it again. Plus it is a clean romance, with the main character, Jane, and her family being LDS. Don't wait to pick this one up! Then let me know what you think about it!
