Life Intended (Harmel) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
Twelve years after losing her husband Patrick...Kate Waithman is ready to move on and get remarried. Or is she?... Harmel hooks the reader from the start with this evocative novel and creates a believable world and despite some predictability,...a satisfying conclusion.  —Amy Stenftenagel, Washington Cty.

Library Journal


The latest from Harmel...is an affecting tale about finding happiness amid grief and guilt. Some twists are telegraphed early in the novel, but that doesn’t diminish the satisfying conclusion.
Booklist


After a loss like [Kate's], how much should be thrown away and how much kept in the rebuilding? Tensions around these questions...make for an absorbing read. Though elements of the plot are predictable and the prose is unadorned, this book is well-paced and warmhearted.
