The only thing Lily wants is for her children to have a nice warm home, and to make sure her family's diner survives. When handsome billionaire David walks in and leaves a rather generous tip, he not only helps her little family, he also gives her something she hasn't had for a long time-hope. After the loss of his beloved wife, David moves to a small town in New York, hoping to escape the memories, along with the pressures of his life as the president of the largest ad agency in the country. The last thing he expects when he meets with his pastor is to run into the woman who will change his life forever. David is willing to shower Lily with everything she needs, but Lily isn't sure she can handle the kindness after everything she's dealt with in the past. Will her bad memories keep them from being able to have a future together? Or will he be able to convince her that love is what makes life worth living?… (meer)

The meaning of the title didn't make sense to me until the end--and I think it is a double meaning--both literal and symbolic by that point.

Like other reviewers, I did wonder a bit at Lily's struggles--owning a diner should have provided food options--and if the diner is heated and your house is not, why are you not staying at the diner? The kids could be in the office. There are bathrooms, food, running water, etc. Better than letting your kids be cold. Better than letting your pride stand in the way of your family's health (especially since she was willing to ask the church for help, but not accept it from David.)

How the diner went from a successful business to a failing one is never explained. Is Lily that bad of a business owner? Were her menu experiments breaking the bank (could the money for that have been used elsewhere in the business--advertising perhaps)?

There were just a few too many nagging questions at the beginning--and though I enjoyed the other characters, it just made it tough to rate the story as more than average. ( )
