Review: From the back...
Tucker Mallory wasn't looking for miracles when he returned to his hometown after six years, just a chance to get to know his son. And maybe, just maybe, a chance to make up for some of the damage he'd done when he walked away from his marriage without a backward glance...
Rebecca Harwell Mallory knew she couldn't deny her child the chance to have a father for the first time in his young life. And everything about Tucker seemed to have changed somehow-everything, that is, except the devastating effect he had always had on her.
But how could she trust her son's happiness-or her own fragile heart again-to this man who'd hurt her so many years ago?

In my Opinion...
Tucker grew up with parents that used him. His parents hated each other and were always fighting while they were married. After the divorce they were constantly battling to outdo each other and they put Tucker in the middle. So, when Tucker's marriage fell apart he thought that the best thing he could do was make a clean break from his ex-wife and son. Tucker loved them, but he was sure that his wife, Rebecca, was in love with her highschool sweetheart Brian. Tucker was sure that Brian would be a better father to Sammy. Six years later Tucker gets a picture in the mail of a very sad Sammy at his birthday party. Tucker is now having doubts about leaving them six years ago. He decides that it is time to return home and find out what is wrong with his little boy and try to be a part of his life. Tucker's return changes a lot of lives. Rebecca breaks off her six year engagement to Brian. Sammy now has a father, but is afraid that Tucker will not stick around. Rebecca and Tucker realize that the old feelings they had for each other have never gone away. They need to put the past behind them and deal with the present if they want to have a future. This is a good story that involves family, forgiveness, friendship, and love. I really enjoy this book and look forward to reading Brian's story in 'Not His Wife'.
