In the modern day story Chelsea Spenser's story is very similar in that she escapes to Chickadee Creek but she is escaping an abusive relationship. She helps her great aunt with her antique shop. She meets Liam Chandler, a well-known actor who has family roots in the area. Liam is dealing with his own set of problems having lost his younger brother and the breakup of his parent's marriage. He finds out some other news that he must deal with.
Of the two stories I think I enjoyed the modern day one. I enjoyed reading about Liam's struggle and how he dealt with it. Also the modern story had a hint of mystery at the end that kept me reading.
I hope the author intends to write more novels of this caliber.
