Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. This book follows a family as the all look for a second chance with each other. It was a sweet story with vivid descriptions of national parks but the plot resolution seemed to predictable to me.

This was a DNF for me. I had a lot of problems with this story, but the fact that a teenager is left to her own devices to try and sort through the emotional turmoil of her mother’s cancer without her parents even thinking about therapy and then just dropping her off at her great aunts for her to deal with her just didn’t sit well with me.

I also found that the story being split three ways felt like just reading three different stories instead of one woven together story.

Intersting story, I was a little confused about the timeline, I don't feel that I really got to know the characters except for the Aunt.

A wonderful book with tragic situations. Cancer is not something easy to deal with. This book did a wonderful job writing about the family that surrounds it.

Thanks to the author, publisher and Net Galley for an early release if this book.

Truly a beautiful heartfelt story of survival for a family. They are each going through Post Traumatic Stress and each learning to cope and move forward as a unit together.
Mom- Amy has had surgery, and then another, and then chemotherapy to stay alive. She needs to figure out her "New Norm".
Amy's husband, Paul has lived through a tragedy when the Oklahoma bombings took place and he was working there amongst the remains. He has "checked out" within his family in so many ways.
Their daughter, Carly, is angry. What if her Mom dies? What if she too gets this disease? Who can she confide in to help her?
This is their story and it is amazing!
My very favorite characters are Great Aunt Rae and T..Rex!

This family journey is definitely a soul searching novel for anyone. I loved it!

What’s Worth Keeping is a heartwarming book of a family dealing with the mother’s cancer.
Kaya McLaren wrote this story from each family members poignant point of view.
This is such a heart touching story that I pretty much cried most of the way through the book.
This is a solid 5+ stars.
