Once I started reading Dear John, I didn't want to stop. Kim Vogel Sawyer is an amazingly gifted story teller. Her characters are compelling and captivating. One of the greatest things I walked away with after reading this story was a deep love, respect and understanding for those with Down syndrome. My heart went out to Marin, whose parents were killed on the way home from her college graduation. Marin not only inherited her father's company but she also became sole caretaker of her down-syndrome brother John. Stressed to the max, she searches for some much needed help. Along comes Philip Wilder; the answer to her prayers. Or was he? Philip has a secret that threatens to send her world crashing in around her. Trust me, this is one story you won't want to miss.

This is the second book I have read by this author(Bygones book#1 of the Sommerfield Trilogy, was the first),and I am so impressed with the quality of her writing. She is truly gifted. I could not put this book down until I was finished with it early this morning! Really makes one think about about the plight of the disabled and their families,usually because of the cruelty of some members of society,and how people could truly bless their lives by welcoming them into society, encouraging,and supporting their independence so that they can live as fulfilling lives as possible.

Her storylines and characters are so absorbing I plan to read everything she has written,in fact, her "Waiting For Summer's Return" is next.I am anxiously awaiting the release of her 2nd book in the Sommerfield Trilogy book "Beginnings" in October.
