Love this book!
I can read this book over and over and never get tired of it!!
The relationship between the 3 best friends was touching and that's just the beginning of it! The way that true love and happiness takes its course opens all of our eyes to what a small world this is. It's just funny how the love of one couple can cause second thoughts about hate for someone else. Maddie deserved to be loved and ...

One of the Best Book I've Read
I just finished this book and it was one of those you never wanted to end. I LOVED it. I have only read a few of Rice's books and have loved all of them. This is well worth the time and money. I could really feel the emotions and connections of all the characters. MUST READ!!!!!

The Wind in the Willows (Signet Classics)124 reviews
Kenneth Grahame
Signet Classics, 2006
joyful
"The Wind in the Willows" reminds me a lot of the television series "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood." I make this connection because in the face of a great deal of children's entertainment that is fast-paced, zany, and explosive, it is gentle and slow, and speaks honestly to children without diluting its messages any. In many of these reviews, readers have expressed their affection for loyal mole, ...

I decided to give Luanne Rice another chance after I trashed her book Blue Moon. What Matters Most is incredible. I loved it and would recommend it to anyone! What a great story! Just keep the kleenex handy; you will need it. Great job!

surpassingly lovely
Utterly Compelling.
Poignant and achingly beautiful prose.
Heart renderingly bittersweet, and yet so uplifting.
What an amazing journey Luanne Rice leads us through.
There really are no leads in this book. She writes the
story with such even-handedness. Each character fully realized, including a cat and a dog.
There are several love stories here.
Man and Woman.
Mother and child. Father ...

Stone Heart15 reviews

Glad I found this one...
Stone Heart is one of Luanne Rice's finest. I could not put it down. It is different from her newer books but just as good, if not better. If you are a Luanne Rice fan I recommend this one.

Still thinking about the characters many months later
I have chosen this book for my book club to read. It will be interesting to see if the reviews are as varied as here. I loved the story and the characters, and still think about them. I read alot of books, and this one really stuck with me.

The Letters
Luanne Rice, Joseph Monninger
Bantam, 2008
Is there any mystery greater than those we love the most? In this remarkable collaboration, New York Times bestselling author Luanne Rice and Joseph Monninger combine their unique talents to create a powerfully moving novel of an estranged husband and wife through a series of searching, intimate letters. By way of a correspondence so achingly real you’ll forget it’s fiction, they trace the history of a love affair and of a ...

Characters To Fall In Love With
I am a die-hard Luanne Rice fan. I have read every single novel she has written and this one stands out as one of my favorites.
The characters are well-drawn, believable middle class people that have very real, believeable problems that every reader can sympathize with.
Ms. Rice deftly explores the complexities of a busy young family. She is able to capture the love, the heartache and the ...

The Perfect Summer25 reviews

Family Story Wrapped in Mystery
The reader slides easily into the lives of Bay and her children and longtime friend, Tara. Bay's unease, at the cracks running through her marriage, rings true. The waterside, flower-bedecked cover led me to expect a pleasant romance, so I was surprised by the mystery, the family trauma, the return of a long-forgotten love. Well done!
The viewpoint shifts from Bay to her daughter Annie, to ...

WHAT AN EMOTIONAL READ!!
This must have been the beginning of the realization of the talent of Luanne Rice. Written 10 years ago, this book is a tiny bit dated already in that there are no use of cell phones, but overall the book is an emotional read that is hard to put down.
Anne Davis is still reeling from the death of her four-year-old daughter and the abandonment by her husband when she returns to the island home ...

Wonderful!!!
This was such an interesting story. Women who escape abusive men and move to a remote whaling village to reinvent themselves, forming a support group in the process, and paving the way to trust and falling in love again. A whale-watching party. A community rallying behind a sickly child - I wish I could buy a Nova Scotia pine pillow! The setting was beautiful in its harshness - a sharp contrast ...

Kleenex, please.....
Luanne Rice is a darn good storyteller.
I very much enjoyed Cloud Nine.
A wonderfully paced story. Plenty of time to get to know the characters.
Clound Nine is filled with warmth, laughter, heartache. Some suspense.
Romance.
Family dynamics. Mother/daughter. Stepfather. Ex's. Dad/daughter. Mother/son.
Family roots.
Places in the heart.
Fun in the snow.
Good stuff, painful stuff.
