While this book tackles heavy subject matter, I felt the author did it in a beautifully redemptive way. The FMC is so resilient and strong and yet she is held out as a flawed woman working through her own trauma. 

The MMC is a kind and considerate and deeply loving man who still blunders and yet there is so much forgiveness between them and toward other characters. 

I loved it, I cried, I smiled, I wish I could read it again for the first time.

The writing in this book is beautiful and it’s hard to deny that. What my biggest hold up is is the romance. I don’t think this book should have included the relationship given the greater context of the story line. I found myself sad that it feels like the reader misses some part of the main characters’ development in lieu of the romantic aspect. Otherwise there isn’t much to say. I look forward to reading more from this author.
