ABOUT THE BOOK
1892—Mae Wilkey’s sweet next-door neighbor, Pauline, is suffering from old age and dementia and desperately needs family to come help her. But Pauline can’t recall having kin remaining. Mae searches through her desk and finds a name—Tom Curtis, who may just be the answer to their prayers.
Tom can’t remember an old aunt named Pauline, but if she thinks he’s a long-lost nephew, he very well may be. After two desperate letters from Mae, he decides to pay a visit. An engagement, a runaway train, and a town of quirky, loveable people make for more of an adventure than Tom is expecting. But it is amazing what can bloom in winter when God is in charge of things.

My Review :
Loves Blooms in Winter is a nice story of love, family, friendship and determination. I liked the character of Pauline the best, though Tom would be my next favorite. I wasn’t fond of Mae or her ridiculous beau, who treats her badly. I usually don't care for female characters that allow men to treat them badly, I prefer stronger female lead characters. The story line was nice, had a good flow. Book was well-written. Not one of my favorites, but still a good read. If I had to rate it on a 1 – 5 scale, I’d probably give it a 3.5.
