A BEAUTIFUL FALL by Chris Coppernoll is a journey. A rode Emma Madison travels to discover what it is that is important in life.
Emma gets a call from home letting her know her father has had a heart attack. Leaving her busy life as a high profile lawyer in Boston, Emma rushes home to the small town of Juneberry , South Carolina. Emma prepares herself for the one question she is sure to be asked by both friends and family. Why did she leave twelve years ago and never come back? Emma is pleasantly surprised that though her friends and family wondered about her absence, it hasn’t diminished their love for her. Even Michael–the love of her life the last summer she was home – has forgiven her for leaving but has never forgotten about her.
Feeling the pressure from her law firm to return to Boston as soon as possible, Emma is at a crossroads. Boston holds for her everything she ever wanted in life–a career on the fast track, a prestigious partnership, and the exhilaration of seeing her dreams realized, but is it really living? A renewed love affair with a town that feels as right as a warm blanket on a cool Fall evening, Emma struggles with the decision she needs to make.
A BEAUTIFUL FALL was as quaint as the town of Juneberry. The action was never over the top, and Emma’s interactions with past acquaintances always brought a smile to your face. But some of her interactions with Michael fell short emotionally. Though I know Michael was playing the part of a patient suitor, waiting for Emma to realize for herself what it was she really wanted in life, I felt at times, there scenes together lacked depth. But overall, the story was enjoyable.♥
