I highly recommend Cassie Steward's debut novel - it's an emotional journey that will tug at your heartstrings. 

The story spans 50 years and two families as they deal with loss, secrets, family, and hope.  It does an excellent job of weaving the backstory into the present day. I loved how each chapter revealed a new secret that shaped the characters and made the story even better. Anna, the main character, will make you feel all her pain and frustration as you follow her on her journey. 

Overall, this book is a must-read for anyone who loves an engaging novel that will leave you feeling uplifted and inspired.  Thank you to the author and @bookbabespr for a gifted copy.
