ABOUT THE BOOK

The Abernathy sisters. One is bright, one is beautiful, but both are in love with the same man. One sister will let go of love, and like a kite string untethering in the wind, the choice will undo each of their lives. What will it take to heal their hearts, for love to find them in a place called Humble, Texas?

Trudie Abernathy is a little inelegant, and she's never had much luck in love. To make matters worse, her thirtieth birthday is fast approaching and her sister, Lane, has decided to treat her to a makeover and a few blind dates. Trudie is about to protest, but then she meets the kind and handsome Mason Williamson. In spite of her humble manner, Mason finds her attractive, funny and smart. But Lane inexplicably pushes Trudie away from Mason and toward the other willing suitors. The makeover has transformed Trudie from ordinary into stunning, but she isnt sure how she feels about all the attention from men. Can Trudie stay true to her humble self and find her hearts desire in the process?

MY THOUGHTS:
This was a thoroughly enjoyable book. Of course I always enjoy books set in Texas, and since this one was set just outside of Houston (where I grew up) it was even more fun to read! The author did a great job of portraying the relationship between the Trudie and Lane - deep love combined with Trudie's constant feelings of inadequacy next to Lane's seeming glamour and perfection. And yet, as is frequently the case, Lane didn't have it all together either! Trudie must find the delicate balance between sacrificial love and being a doormat to her sister's desires. And Lane must be honest with herself and discover what love really means.

The Love Finds You series is publishing at least one book set in each of the 50 states!

Happy Reading!
