ABOUT THE BOOK:
High-powered Boston attorney Emma Madison is celebrating her latest courtroom victory when she gets a call from a number she doesn’t recognize. Area code 803 home. Juneberry, South Carolina eight hundred miles, twelve years, and a lifetime away from Boston. Emma’s father has had a serious heart attack. Emma rushes to his bedside, and a weekend trip threatens to become an extended stay. She has to work fast to arrange the affairs of his small-town law practice so she can return to her life and career in Boston.
And then Michael Evans shows up. They’d shared hopes, dreams, and a passionate love as young college students during a long-ago summer. But Emma walked away from Michael and from Juneberry to finish college and start a new life. Michael has never forgotten her.
Enveloped in the warmth of family and small-town life and discovering that she still cares for Michael, Emma knows she’ll have to make a choice between the career she’s worked so hard to build and the love she left behind.

MY REVIEW:
First let me say, “I want to move to Juneberry!” Chris Coppernoll describes the idyllic small town and its residents so well that he makes me want to live there and get to know all the people in A Beautiful Fall. Oh, if there were such a place we’d probably all make a beeline for it – a place where life is just a little simpler and people really care about each other.
Coppernoll has created a memorable story in a genre usually reserved for female writers. He has zeroed in on the thoughts and emotions of Emma so well that her character rings true. In fact, all of his characters are very well defined and could almost step off the pages.
A Beautiful Fall is one of those books that will stay with the reader long after the last page is turned. It is a beautiful story about unselfish love and the importance of friends and family. It is also a story about what is really important in life and how easy it is to get off track without even realizing it. But it is also a story about second chances and all the tokens of God’s love and grace that we often overlook.
I would highly recommend A Beautiful Fall. I know I plan to look for Coppernoll’s previous novel Providence asap.
