MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Grand Design<\/a> is a quickly read romantic novel set on Mackinac Island. In this story, a return trip to the island after many years away revives old memories and pain for Alyssa Denham. With the help of her best friend, her grandmother, and Scott Whitman, Alyssa begins to break down some of the walls she has so carefully built to protect herself.<\/p>\n

The novel length was a bit too short for the author to go into as much depth as I might have preferred but she did manage to cover all the bases adequately. Her descriptions of the island were vivid and made me want to visit it. The characters were well defined but I would have liked to spend more time with them. A Grand Design<\/a> is short and sweet and the perfect book for when you don\u2019t have the time or notion to dig into something that requires more concentration.<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"AA getaway on a charming island may be just what Alyssa needs\u2014if only she can let go of her past.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Alyssa Denham, a single career woman, wins a fun getaway for two on Mackinac Island where her grandmother lives, she gives her carefree best friend a call. Together, they tour the old shops and hidden treasures of the quaint island while helping Alyssa\u2019s grandmother piece together an heirloom quilt. Their quest gains them entrance into the homes of many longtime residents of the island, parts of the city that are otherwise off limits to tourists.<\/p>\n

As the quilt\u2019s story takes shape, Alyssa gains amazing insight into her grandmother\u2019s life . . . and attracts the attention of the handsome Scott Whitman, an island resident in charge of hotel transportation. Will memories of her past keep Alyssa from letting go? Or will the quest to piece together the heirloom quilt restore Alyssa\u2019s fractured heart\u2014and bring healing to her entire family?<\/p>\n
