And Lily is not immune to his good looks, kindness, strength, and charm. The problem is Lily isn't sure she can trust Case to love her forever. She is sure that one morning he will wake up to discover he has made a horrible mistake in marrying a woman with a deformed face. After suffering from her fiance's betrayal, Lily isn't about to risk her heart again. But Case's persistence, his steadiness, and his dependability win her heart in a way she never anticipates.

Sharon Sala has written an emotionally heartwarming story about a woman who is afraid she'll never be loved for anything beyond the beauty she possesses and a man who is strong enough to put his heart on the line for her love and that of her family's. Both Case and Lily help each other to accept circumstances of the past that were beyond their control. With the strength of their love, Case comes to terms with his mother's desertion and Lily learns to see beyond her looking glass. The author skillfully lets her readers get in touch with the minds of her characters and eases the way into understanding them both.
