Gemini / Carol Cassella / 341 pages / 5 Gold Rings December Challenge

"Raney (Renee Remington Flores) now lived the truth that there are all types of love: the kind that hits you like a truck hauling down a highway, the kind that needs as much nurturing as a winter campfire, and the range between." She never knew her father.  Her mother abandoned her with her grandfather in a rural area of the Olympic peninsula, and she fell in love with Bo, a wealthy nephew of local store owners.  Bo's social status, his family, and his medical problems incapacitate their relationship.  When Raney meets the Filipino carpenter, Clete, she discovers an extremely different kind of love.  At age 39, Raney is victim of a hit and run accident and taken to Seattle's Beacon Hospital where she is unidentified - a Jane Doe.  Her doctor, Charlotte Reese does everything in her power to sustain Raney's life and discover her identity.  This is a story of love, hope, and family with well-developed characters, a spice of suspense, and a satisfying ending.
