Hannah's List Book Review

Hannah's List (Blossom Street) by Debbie Macomber was a wonderful free find at the local library.  They have a section with books that didn't sell at their book sale or that people donated that they don't need so they put a shelf out with FREE BOOKS!  I saw this one as I was passing by to get to storytime last week and grabbed it.  When I finished with the book that I was working on, I immediately picked it up.  I know I was supposed to read another of the many books that I have in my pile but I often get distracted by new books.  It was a super fast read and very entertaining. 

Dr. Michael Everett lost his wife, Hannah, to cancer a year before and has been leading a very lonely life since her passing.  On the one year anniversary, he receives a letter from Hannah which makes his promise to live and love again.  She doesn't want him to spend the years alone so she gives him a list of three women that Michael should go out and meet in order to pick a wife.  Seems a little strange on the surface but when you start to think about how much thought his dying wife put into the choices, it really brings tears to your eyes.  The uncomfortable search for someone to spend his life with makes him open up his life in other ways too like getting back into a weekly poker game with his friends.  Michael changes his whole life with a little pushing from his best friend and brother in law to make sure that he doesn't do anything that would disappoint Hannah's wishes.

Check out this book at your local library or bookstore (and if local, you are obviously welcome to borrow it since I am done).  I think that I am going to look at the library for some others in this series of books to check them out.  I hope that you let me know what you think if you pick this one up too :)
