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.

Favorite Quote: “People need to place blame when things go to shit. Makes them feel like they have control over things they don’t.”
Review:
I loved this book. My heart went out to Camden, he dealt with so much during his life and people kept adding more sh*t to it. This book is really about that how people see you isn't necessary how you are and that once people have a certain positive or negative image of you it can be hard to get away from that. It's about not letting what people think of you get in the way of your goals.
What is this book about:
Camden is military, and he loves it. He didn't think he would get out if he didn't receive a call for help from his father. Going back home definitely isn't something he wants to do. Everyone hates him there, and his father maybe the most. He gets blamed and blames himself for the death of his younger brother.
The only positive in that town is Willow. Willow is a graphic designer and loves the town she lives in but at the same time doesn't like certain aspects of it either. It's a small old fashioned town and they stick to their own visions and thoughts. It makes it hard to move away from how they see her and show them that she has moved on.
Willow can't believe that Camden is back in town and that he is staying this time. She knows she shouldn't help him but she can't help but want to help the man she grew up with. It's up to Willow to decide how far she is willing to go to help the person that needs her the most.
What did I like/love:
I love Camden. Like I said above I really wanted to jump in and stick up for him and help him. He had nobody in his corner and it broke my heart that he didn't expect it either. People where really mean to him.
I loved the connection Camden and Willow had. It played out nice in the story.
Willow I really liked as well. It takes guts to stand up to everyone for what you believe is the right thing to do. I admire that in her.
I loved how the story developed. The writing style and the flow of the story are great.
What did I dislike/hate:
