Every engaged or married couple should read this book! It is a great read and a well-woven story. At the same time it teaches the reader true-to-life lessons about the seasons that marriages go through, without even realizing that you are being “taught”! It made me laugh, cry, sigh, smile and all of the emotions in-between. A wonderful book!
My husband and I read the “5 Love Languages” as a part of our pre-marital class at church. We have found what we learned in that book invaluable from the beginning! This is another one of those books – but even more fun to read! I am definitely going to recommend this one to my friends.

Word travels fast at the Just As I Am beauty shop. So when a simple homeless man appears on Steve and Brenda Hansen's doorstep, the entire shop is set abuzz, especially when Brenda lets him sleep on their porch.
That's not all the neighbors are talking about. Spring may be blooming outdoors, but an icy chill has settled over the Hansens' marriage. Steve is keeping late hours with clients, and the usually upbeat Brenda is feeling the absence of her husband and her college-age kids. Add to that the unsavory business moving in next to the beauty shop and the entire community gets turned upside down. Now Brenda's friends must unite to pull her out of her rut and keep the unwanted sotre out of town. But can Steve and Brenda learn to thaw their chilly marriage and enjoy the hope spring offers?
