4.0 out of 5 stars struggle of the heart February 21, 2012

By Jacqui

I enjoyed reading this book. It flowed nicely for the most part, though one part of it was a little slow. The main character was very likable, as were the other characters. Perhaps the best part of this book, and the part that I had to read twice because it came out of nowhere, was... actually, I probably shouldn't ruin it =) ...but it was a major part of the plot and I never saw it coming, and that unpredictability made this book that much better.

Marie really captured the character of Annette. I constantly cheered for her throughout the book. The love triangle was heartfelt and beautifully crafted, as well as Annette finally finding herself and being comfortable with all her decisions. It's a light-fun read that everyone should pick up if you enjoy a true love story of the heart. Go buy it!

Marie expertly captured her characters, their inner feelings and motivations, the challenges of young love and the quest for one's place in the world. It makes the reader reflect on his/her own experiences and how one event can drastically change your life forever. A must read for anyone who has ever searched for love and/or a true purpose in life.

More About the Author

Marie (Losacco) Fostino born August 12, 1954 in Hindsdale, Ill. Grew up in Burbank, Ill and in Oak Lawn, Ill. Married to Jim Fostino, has five children and at this moment in time seven grandchildren. When finishing high school she became a beautician. Living in Oklahoma at the time, it was the bombing in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995, that led Marie to a different path in life, and she went to school to become a paramedic. When it came to pass that Joe Fostino was confused both Jim and Marie quit their jobs and moved into his home to take care of him. They learned a lot about Alzheimer's Disease as they took care of Joe at home until his battle with Alzheimer's led to his death June 13, 2004. Marie put her journals into a book to help others with this disease. This gave Marie the bug to start writing about other events in her life but changed them to be fiction and more interesting. She is now writing YA romance novels. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as she enjoys writing them.
