Why read it?

2 authors picked The Best Is Yet to Come as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Debbie Macomber is unique in her writing with pulling women together, making you feel like the friends you’d want to have. You’ll emphasize with them, laugh with them, and relate to them. The title alone drew me in. And Debbie puts you right into the story. You can see the surroundings, feel for the characters, and enjoy the character's triumphs.

When a woman living alone is given a second chance to fulfill her every dream, desire, and prayer, she should take it. First, she must choose to open her heart. Oftentimes, she will have to learn to forgive and move forward. Leaving the past where it should be. This is a book written for hopeless romantics everywhere. Grab a cozy blanket, a cup of tea, or a shot of whiskey and make sure you have a box of tissues, because tears will be running down your face. 

From Judy's list on later in life romance.
