Pick up any one of [Hilderbrand's] books on a grim, cold, what-do-I-have-to-look-forward-to kind of day, and you will be transported to a land of perpetual sunshine, afternoon sails and well-appointed beachfront homes. Her latest, 28 Summers, is no exception. In fact, this sweeping love story is Hilderbrand's best ever. She is the rare writer who can produce more than one book a year without sacrificing quality.
