WOW, what a totally surprising and inspiring read from Chelle Bliss!!! 
 The synopsis is purposefully vague and I won't give anything away here but the book begins with Callie waiting for a telephone call that could change her life. She is keeping a secret from everyone close to her and she realizes the call could be life-changing: 
 "I'm on pins and needles waiting for an important phone call. One that could change my life, and I haven't told a soul about it. . . Telling people makes it real, and I'm not ready to face the possibility I could have more important things to deal with than which pair of shoes to wear with my favorite Donna Karan dress." 
 Enter Bruno, a man who adores Callie and who is not at ALL what he seems to be. He refuses to let Callie sink into sadness and he pulls her into the light. Their love is absolutely beautiful and very real, and as with all of this author's books, family plays an important role in the main characters' lives. The warmth and love of Bruno's family is one of my favorite parts of this story. 
 The cover of this book is one the of most gorgeous covers I've even seen. It captures the themes of the book perfectly. Just when you think Callie is going to give up, Bruno is right there with her, supporting her and holding her up and giving her love. Callie shines with Bruno's tender loving care and the story is ultimately an uplifting one. 
 Make no mistake, this book deals with difficult themes and the story is very serious. But the two main characters are so filled with life and love, that it really turns out to be an extremely heart-warming story. I loved this book and I loved Callie and Bruno's strength and vulnerability. A truly inspiring story!!
