How do you define yourself when others have already decided who you are?
Six years ago, when Camden Daniels came back from war without his younger brother, no one in the small town of Alba, Colorado, would forgive him—especially his father. He left, swearing never to return.
But a desperate message from his father brings it all back. The betrayal. The pain. And the need to go home again.
But home is where the one person he still loves is waiting. Willow. The one woman he can never have. Because there are secrets buried in Alba that are best left in the dark.
If only he could tell his heart to stay locked away when she whispers she’s always loved him, and always will…
Great and Precious Things is a heart-wrenching story about family, betrayal, and ultimately how far we're willing to go on behalf of those who need us most.

What I thought about Great & Precious Things
After Camden Daniels leaves town, promising himself that he'd never return to the small
Colorado town where he grew up. But when his
father calls looking for help, he goes home to all the secrets and pain
that have kept him away. There are few secrets in
small towns, and it isn't always easy to go home again. I really felt for Cam here, but he does it, opening the door to possibilities.
Willow
Bradley is the girl he left behind, a friend with history with his brother. If anyone knows Cam, it's Willow and while she has her own
pain to work through, she sees Cam and his misplaced guilt. She sees
that he is strong and loyal and willing to help his family even though
it's costing him.
I've
been a fan of Rebecca
Yarros' writing since her first book and she only gets better with each
new title in terms of creating an emotional story and characters that
you fall for in the first few pages. Great and Precious Things is no
exception. Cam and Willow have to relive much of their painful past in
order to clear the way for their future. The slow burn romance contains a
bucket load of emotional content, so just be prepared. You might
need to wipe your eyes a time or two, but if you've read Rebecca Yarros
before you know that's just how it is.
I love a good small town story and this standalone really hits the high and low points of what it means to come home. I did love the themes of choice and consequences that are woven throughout and make this is a book that will leave a bit of a mark, at least for a little while. Those are the best stories -- the ones that have you thinking about it for days afterward.
Another great (and precious;) title from Rebecca Yarros. If you like your romances with plenty of emotion and weaved around familiar circumstances, then you just might like Great and Precious Things.

Meet Rebecca Yarros
I’m also a military wife of sixteen years. During my husband’s deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, I was devouring a book a day, and during his third deployment, I finally wrote my own. With a somewhat ironic timing, I received my book deal for Full Measures during his fourth deployment, and published a month after he returned home. We’re currently preparing for his fifth deployment, so check out the blog for the latest!
On the homefront, we have six kids. Yes, you read that right—six. If I’m not writing or playing guitar, I’m usually tying hockey skates for our four boys, or sneaking in John Hughes marathons with my two daughters. We fostered and adopted our youngest daughter from the foster system and we’re passionate about helping others do the same through our non-profit, One October! We’re always busy navigating the winding road of our daughter’s recent autism diagnosis, getting our boys to hockey, prepping for a deployment, and generally trying to stay sane. We’re die-hard Mets fans, but our hearts call Colorado home.
If you’ve read all of that, haven’t fallen asleep, and still want to know more about me, check out my blog: http://www.rebeccayarros.com/blog!

Watching them figure out all the long, complicated history between themselves and their town and grow together as problems arise was beautiful. It pulled at your heartstrings as these two people, who have known each other almost their whole lives, navigate grief, guilt and forgiveness and learn to love again.
