When their loved ones reach out to them to come home for a family reunion, Ruth has reason to believe that Gideon won’t be there. Gideon also thinks that Ruth has declined the invitation. Family and friends are rooting for them to reunite, but will it all be enough for Ruth and Gideon to get past their grief and recapture a time when they were in love and had a bright future ahead of them?

A reunion of Hearts as a mom this one hit me hard.   A daughters death separated husband and wife who can't work their way through the grief.  They end up going their separate ways.  A family reunion brings the couple back together.  This one was heart breaking for me.  As a parent I don't even want to think of what I would do in their place.  It was hard to read about them working through the pain and finding each other again.

A chance to remember this one is about a sweet elderly couple that finds love in the later years.  This one was cute and very heartwarming.  I found myself smiling quite a bit.  A perfect story for anyone who loves 2nd chance love stories

4 great stories for one great price.  Since they are all short stories they move a bit fast, but not so fast that you don't fall in love with all the characters
