This story was no exception!
I could not stop reading this!
I met a beautiful household who has a horrible, tragic loss.
You can feel that their emotions are raw with guilt, hurt, anger, hate,heartbreak and fear.
How can any family survive a crisis of this magnitude and still move forward?
Sit for a bit, and begin this book.
You will truly love these characters! I know I did and will be thinking of them for a long time!

Thank you to #Bookuture and #NetGalley for this ARC, I have provided an honest review.

A family is in crisis. Two little girls are the best of friends and sisters. Until tragedy intervenes and the family is torn apart. Will Catriona end up losing all of her children when April”s birth mother re-emerges? I wasn’t sure which way the story was going to go until 3/4 of the way through. I liked the ending. It’s a solid story with fragments that get mended into a new family base.

A real tear jerker, yet I had to keep reading, such was the power of this book. So heartfelt and well told, you will need a tissue or 2!

This amazing, emotional and sometimes very intense story drew me in from the first chapter. The author does a wonderful job of describing all the characters and their thoughts and actions. The scenery descriptions make me want to visit the area. The book is such a page turner I had a hard time putting it down to eat and sleep. Is a mother’s love enough to help her daughter and their family get through the trauma of a devastating loss? Read the book to find out, and be sure to keep tissues close by.
