Amy Riordan hasn't seen her father in over twenty years. Her parents divorced when she was young, and Amy went to live with her mother and step-father. Greg Riordan only made a few attempts to get back into Amy's life, and Amy pushed him away. But Greg left Amy half of his most prized possession - an inn. Amy finally makes herself go up to visit the inn in Tremont, and to settle her half ownership with Greg's significant other, Bernadette. While Amy is up there, she has to deal with her feelings of resentment toward her deceased father for leaving her while she is constantly faced with reminders of her father's life. Amy suddenly has a step-mother, two sisters, and an attraction to the family friend, Paul Hanley.Amy has to learn how to trust Paul. She does, but then Amy runs away from Paul out of anger because she believes he tricked her into keeping her half of the inn's ownership, and she refuses to see him anymore. And it's Greg Riordan who brings Amy and Paul back together. Bernadette tells Paul that Amy loved Greg, and had pushed him away. She tells Paul not to make the same mistake that Greg made and never make contact with Amy again. Paul goes to Washington D.C. determined to set things straight."A Will And A Wedding" is a definite keeper! And what helped make this story so excellent was the characterization. Judith explored the characters so deeply, that I never had any questions about their motivations, their actions and reactions, whatever. I *loved* that! :) So many times, I've had to stop in the middle of a book to try to remember something about a certain character's past, or try to figure out why so-and-so is acting like a total dork.Reviewed by SLS 5/21/96
