I enjoyed this and was surprised to learn that Rice had written this novel after visiting the 'Hockey Hall of Fame' and 'Toronto Maple Leaf Gardens'!! Nice to know that some of the U.S. authors "appreciate" Canada and what we have here. From the dust jacket: "May Taylor works as a wedding planner with her best friend and great aunt, passing on the timeless traditions established by her grandmother and mother. The Taylor women have always believed in the presence of magic in everyday life-especially the simple magic of true love and family. Yet May's own faith in true love was destroyed years ago when she was abandoned by the father of her child. Still, she has found joy in raising her daughter Kylie-a special five year old who sees and hears things that others cannot. Her unique visions will lead May to a love she never expected and a life she never imagined. Martin Cartier is a professional hockey player and sports legend. But celebrity has never been enough for Martin. His father, Serge, a hockey champion, taught him to play the game...and to win at all costs. Now his handsome, polished exterior barely hides a core of rage, heartache, and isolation. It is Kylie who first glimpses the role Martin will play in May's life and her own. May and Martin feel an immediate attraction, but each fears being hurt again. Yet the intensity of their connection leads them to begin to believe in a shared future. But just as happiness as a family seems within reach, Martin's past threatens to tear them all apart. Only Kylie sees the way home and only May can lead them there, if she can somehow finally believe that miracles can come true..."
