The novel weaves together the lives of two women with similarly heartbreaking journeys, separated by 40 years. The dual timelines are seamlessly intertwined, creating a beautiful narrative.

But for me, the true heart of the story is the mother. Her transformation is nothing short of powerful—watching her confront her past to reclaim her present is both moving and unforgettable. I’d love to see a sequel that dives deeper into her story. She deserves the spotlight.

Page turner

Really loved this book. The ending seemed a bit rushed and got a little cheesy, so I’d probably give it a 4.5 if I could, but still loved reading it.

Great story and characters, hard to put down. Sad but beautiful. Kind of a Hallmark tale.

Really liked the twists this book took. Enjoyed the story.
slow-paced

The ending wrapped everything up with too neat a bow.  All these secrets and longings were quickly erased with everyone getting their happy ending.

This book had a slow start in my opinion but the rest of the book really made up for this. A beautiful story of love, hope and friendship with twists and drama embedded in.
