Helping Helper

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characters are well written and have depth and nuances that blend well with both the character and the story. There are actually four stories being told: Kora, Tony and Greg, Greg, Colton, and Martha. Each has personal obstacles to overcome in order to truly move forward in life. For Kora, it is having closure with her ex-husband Tony, coming to terms with a possible relationship with Greg, and finding herself and who she really is. For Greg it is being able to move forward from the death of his wife three years prior and trusting enough to love and not be hurt. For Martha, it is finding a way to have lived out a promise and see what tomorrow can bring.
I was touched by all of the stories and the ways in which resolutions were found for each.

Helping Helper by Tara C. Allred is another must read. This book will grab you from page one. It will hold you down and then you'll just watch those pages turning and turning and turn some more. When you get to the last page you'll say, "WOW!". Tony and Kora are on their way to Utah to begin a new life. Their car breaks down and Kora is left at a café while Tony goes for some help. He never returns. Kora begins a life in Helper and learns that there is love when you are not looking and with the person you may not think loves you. Tony returns. What will happen with the new life that Kora has made for herself. Will she leave with Tony or will she stay. Does love really conquer all? This book is a great book for your bookshelf and a great gift to give anyone. It is more than 5 stars but unfortunately that is all I can give it. Tara C. Allred has done it again with this book and I wait for the next great read from her. You go girl !
