liked it until the last one-third. then I felt that there was a bit of suspension of belief. I could not reconcile how Hannah made the decision that she made nor why. maybe if I thought about it more but I really don't want to.

Hearing the premise of this book intrigued me. The story lead me on a journey through years, changing who I was rooting for and why, with twists and great emotional connection with so many characters. This is a really well written book and I really just adored. Will read Stedman again.

I could not put this book down. The story sucked me in. Each character finds their way into your heart. Especially being a mother, the tragedy of the story lifted me and broke my heart.
