A Winter Dream by Richard Paul Evans FIC Eva

      Do you remember that story about a guy named Joseph with the jealous brothers?  He left home and his father was heart-broken - and he was wearing a colorful coat!  Well, this story is a lot like that one. There is a guy named Joseph, he has jealous brothers and his father is heart-broken when he suddenly leaves.  But in this story Joseph is number 12 out of 13 kids (one father - three or four wives).  Some of his siblings want him out of the family ad company because he is too good.  They get their chance to make Joseph leave with a little blackmail. Of course Joseph thinks his almost fiancee will certainly go with him - not.  So he ends up in Chicago very much alone and in a really crummy apartment.  The book was a bit schmaltzy but I knew it was going to be that way and I was ready for it.  It seems Evans always comes out with a new book during the season of hope, so it's just perfect!  Now I'll probably go back to a depressing book with a serial killer or two - but it was a nice break from all of that!
