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.
Great & Precious Things is available for purchase:
If this book wasn't gut wrenching, I don't know what is. Rebecca Yarros, once again, brings you to tears multiple times during this story. Camden Daniels returned from war only to leave his hometown never to return again. Six years later, he reappears in town with...the intentions to stay? The love of his life (and the one that he's vowed to stay away from) is still there and he's as drawn to her now as the day he left. But things are not as easy as picking up where he left off. Camden is returning to a town that hates him for having brought his little brother home in a casket so many years ago. His troubled past and badboy reputation precedes him. So what can he do to convince them all that he's not who they think he is? Willow has always secretly pined for Camden only to have pledged herself to the "right" Daniels brother. When Camden returns to town and brings back all the feelings she's been suppressing, we're in for one emotional ride. The chemistry is very much so alive between the two of them but can anything be when they're both fighting what feels so right to do what they think is the right thing to do? As always, Rebecca's writing is enthralling and the way she tells Camden and Willow's story is just captivating and heart wrenching.
About the Author
I’m a hopeless romantic and adore all things chocolate, coffee and paleo. No, seriously, I need to have a caffeine IV put in. I’ve adored reading all my life, and writing naturally evolved from my love of late nights and promises of one more page.
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!
