The perfect addition to your summer beach tote."- (South Florida) Sun-Sentinel on A Week in Winter "Like Rosamunde Pilcher and Maeve Binchy, Willett creates such fully dimensional characters that readers feel as if they should phone or e-mail them to keep in touch."- Rocky Mountain News on A Week in Winter
