The blurb on the front of the book says it’s a page turner. But more often than not I found myself setting the book down. Upset and in deep rumination about the events unfolding. About the emotional connection I was gaining with these characters. I felt they were becoming part of my story, too. It’s a story of motherhood—complicated, loving, and messy. It’s a story of people. It’s a story of hope. But most importantly, it’s a story of heartache and pain. A story of love.
