"Meggie's Remains is a wonderful poignant story of a woman who is trying to leave her past and start a bright new future, a well-written book whose main character reaches out to the reader immediately.  Joanne Sundell's "Meggie's Remains" reminded me of Julie Garwood's Claybornes' Brides series. Both are wonderful and delightful good reads." GOOD READS
