First, Ginger's descent into severe depression was understandable, presenting a very realistic response to the loss of a child. When her cousin, Ray Anne, steps in and moves her to Thunder Point, it begins an extraordinary healing process that exemplifies the best the community has to offer. The town embraces Ginger without pity, just giving her a reason to get up each day and breathe.
Next, when Matt comes to Thunder Point to try and make amends to Ginger for his boorish behavior at the wedding reception, we're introduced to one of the most unconventional, intense characters I've come across. He's passionate, unpredictable and charming but his behavior can also border on oddness at times. Though he's got some serious issues stemming from his first marriage, his romance with Ginger is a delight.
Lastly, family is again a strong theme and both Ginger and Matt are surrounded by caring members who are an important part of their lives. They're a major aspect of the story and make a very big difference.
