ABOUT THE BOOK:
The Abernathy sisters. One is bright, one is beautiful, but both are in love with the same man. One sister will let go of love, and like a kite string untethering in the wind, the choice will undo each of their lives. What will it take to heal their hearts, for love to find them in a place called Humble, Texas?
Trudie Abernathy is a little inelegant, and she’s never had much luck in love. To make matters worse, her thirtieth birthday is fast approaching and her sister, Lane, has decided to treat her to a makeover and a few blind dates. Trudie is about to protest, but then she meets the kind and handsome Mason Williamson. In spite of her humble manner, Mason finds her attractive, funny and smart. But Lane inexplicably pushes Trudie away from Mason and toward the other willing suitors. The makeover has transformed Trudie from ordinary into stunning, but she isnt sure how she feels about all the attention from men. Can Trudie stay true to her humble self and find her hearts desire in the process?

MY REVIEW:
Although I’ve never been there, I am usually drawn to books about Texas. It is probably a mental leftover from a childhood spent watching westerns and playing cowboys and Indians (yes, my two sisters and I were tomboys). So, although cowboys are conspicuously absent in Love Finds You in Humble Texas, it is still a great book.
Anita Higman’s character portrayal is wonderful. The characters and situations are so real it is easy to get totally immersed in the plot. The tension caused by sisters who love the same man is palpable. Set against realistic backdrops, Love Finds You in Humble Texas kept me laughing with its humor yet had enough depth to leave me with something to ponder.
I have not read any of Anita’s other books, but Love Finds You in Humble Texas has left me wanting more.
