17. Natural Born Charmer

By Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Rated A+++

Chicago Stars quarterback Dean Robillard is driving to Tennessee when he spots a headless beaver walking down the side of the street.

Once again this author has come through for me in a big way. She is a genius of creating a comic situation and giving it depth and a touch of pathos. She has a talent for drawing the reader into the story so the reader feels emotionally invested in the outcome. There is far more than the relationship between the main characters. There is a broken family that tries to find its' way back. There is a child who finds her way back to her father and a man who has to find forgiveness in his heart for a mother that would never ask for it.
