Independent single mom Claire Summers is doing her best to make lemonade out of the lemons life has handed her. Workaholic Keith Watson is interested only in the bottom line--until a letter from Claire's eleven-year-old daughter reaches his desk and changes everything.
As the executive assistant to a philanthropic businessman, Keith is used to fielding requests for donations. But the girl isn't asking for money. She wants help finding the long-lost son of a neighbor. As Keith reluctantly digs into this assignment in his usual results-oriented style, he has no idea how involved he and Claire will become--nor how unusual the results will actually be. Who could have guessed that a child's kindhearted request would bring love and hope to so many lives . . . including his own?
Through compelling characters and surprising plot twists, fan favorite Irene Hannon offers this tenderhearted story that demonstrates how life is like lilacs--the biggest blooms come only after the harshest winters.
"Hannon's multithread plot is woven beautifully together to create a tapestry that will enchant romantics of all ages."--Publishers Weekly

MY THOUGHTS
I'm such a fan of Irene Hannon's suspense that I'm always a bit startled to be reminded that she is just as adept at writing contemporary romantic fiction. I enjoyed That Certain Summer (reviewed here), and One Perfect Spring charmed me from the opening pages. I couldn't help but be drawn to both Claire and Keith, in spite of their determination to keep each other at arm's length. Of course, I immediately fell in love with Claire's daughter and her tender compassion, and the neighbor she is endeavoring to help touched my heart as well. Warm and poignant without being overly sentimental or mushy, One Perfect Spring will bring a smile to your your heart.
