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.

From the very first chapter I wall pulled in completely. The draw to these wonderful but broken characters was real. Ms Yarros does a fantastic job of making you feel like you are in that small town experiencing everything first hand. The feels... all the feels, angst, pain, love, sadness, longing and revival. Are you ready for this emotional rollercoaster?
Camden is the forgotten son of the Daniels family. Or so the town hoped. To those who love him, they just wanted him back, even his father who has trouble remembering him. But Cam left his mark on their small town and the outsiders are not so willing to let him forget his antics from the past. Can this war hero show everyone including himself that he has grown, he has regrets, and he can do good if given the chance?
Willow has seen more than her share of downs, but somehow she manages to pick herself back up and forge ahead with a smile and love in her heart. This strong woman seems to always be there for those around her. Even willing to go against the town to prove a point when needed.
Can Camden and Willow move forward and leave the past in the past. Can she show him that he has worth. He is so much more than the perception the town folk have of him.
Once again Ms Yarros has left me lost in thought at the end of a book. Needing some time to pull my senses back together before jumping into the next book.

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.
