Mac and Ursula were quite different. She was very friendly, positive and hospitable. Mac was … not. Both had lived through loss and dealt with grief, but the way they responded was different. And they needed each other. I may have liked them and their relationship even more because they were in many ways similar to my husband and myself.
I really appreciated the way that Mac knew how to apologize. He made some big mistakes, yet he was willing to admit them and do his best to make amends. It was lovely how he bought so many flowers the one time. In fact, she hadn’t even known he had accused her, she only sensed he was angry, which made it even sweeter.
Several parts lightened the tone from the deep heart issues that Mac had to work through. It was cute how Ursula and her friends banded together to send the reporter on a wild goose chase.
I enjoyed Rory, Ursula’s goddaughter, and her sweet, outgoing manner. A number of animals had roles that added to the interest. I especially liked the whittling that Mac did, making wood spirits and the descriptions of that process enhanced the story as well.
