Lillah has died and Margaret feels that her old friend had wanted to bring Jack and his son Johnny back together. This book has several stories going on. A reunion of old sweethearts, a struggling romance with the younger characters and mainly the hate Johnny has towards the father he doesn't really know. The author did a great job of bringing the characters to life, letting the reader feel the emotions of a father who loved his son and would do anything to have him back in his life after having to know another man raised him. Great story. Speed Bumps is Vaughn Steiner’s story and those characters are in this book as well as Johnny is driving for Steiner. http://justjudysjumbles.blogspot.com/2013/05/harlequin-nascar-library-collection.html
