Sadness is a good tning it helps you cope in life. When there is a tragic loss as was here, the will to move on is so hard, and to be told to get over it is harsh. You move on with your life in different ways, and cope with stress differently. When will people learn that we are not all the same we deal with things differently. Great story loved it . It was a little close to home
A well written conclusion to the trilogy of 'Dollar Dreams'. I loved the deep meanings found within this story. There were messages in just about all conversations. A lot of people should learn from these conversations. Congratulations Catherine. I'll look forward to reading other books by you.
Loved the way the characters developed together. It was just so real but loved the way you grew the relationship. I believed the story and didn’t feel as l often do that it wouldn’t be like that. Great book
I have enjoyed all the books in this series. However this one was much deeper and at times it was hard not to cry!! I urge people to visit our little country towns there is so much to see out there.
I found this book to be very enjoyable and entertaining. The pathos was good, the tentative friendship which turned into love was moving, and I really loved it. Good characters, nice plotline.
I have read al, the dol,ar for a dream books and each one had a fantastic story line but this one just pulled at your heart strings regarding how to deal with loss and to make new dreams Would recomend this series
Really enjoyed this story, felt so part of it. So realistic and lot's of emotion. Loved reading the 3 Dollar for a Dream Stories, all different styles but all totally enjoyable.

A thought provoking tale of love and grief.
I started this book as soon as it arrived on my kindle and I was drawn right into the story of the dying town of Dulili that is desperately trying to find the spark of rejuvenation. Alicia, the heroine of this story, is still grieving the death of her fiancé and Lachlan the Dollar a Week man who is hired as her assistant in the feed store, has brought with him his own set of problems as he tried to outdistance his past. This is a tender thought provoking story of two people dealing with their own problems and learning to lean on each other and trust. It is peopled with many memorable secondary characters who add a richness to the story.
I love the concept of the town of Dulili - and the dollar for a dream, where new folk can pay a dollar a week to rent a home of their own in the town. Catherine Evans', The Healing Season, was a lovely gentle and sensitive read. I found it beautifully written and very well edited and my favourite part of the book was the storyline involving Lachlan who has never learned to read, and Alicia's teaching him. On the whole, it was just a little too gentle for me. I like a tad more of the chemistry thing in my romance and for pacing to move just a little faster, and these two (Lachlan and Alicia) for very good reasons make the decision to take their romance slow. But I'm not going to rate a book lower because it wasn't quite to my 'heat level' taste. So my five stars is for writing and story, all of which was very well done.
