This was a good and heartfelt book. The character development was great, and the author made you feel each and every emotion.

Every Precious and Fragile Thing by new to me author B. Davis just blew my mind. Intriguing, the story is fantastic just like the writing, the twists and turns that had me guessing til the last page. This will be not my last read by her.
Blurb: For social worker Mallory Ward, working with at-risk youth is a calling. But when one of her clients is tragically killed, she finds herself at a crossroads. Despite long-held resentments toward her distant mother, Mallory retreats to her childhood home on the Rhode Island coast to contemplate her future. Instead, she’s confronted by her past, not only in the renewed tensions with her mother but in the unexpected appearance of a familiar face—and the wrenching losses that drove her away a decade ago.
Helen Ward’s home is filled with precious keepsakes from her patients, a testament to decades spent caring for the ill. Her work has always come first, though, leaving little time to connect with her daughter. Over the years, the rift between them has become a chasm, so when Mallory appears unannounced, Helen sees it as an opportunity to repair their broken relationship.
But hidden among Helen’s mementos are the keys to her past…and a terrible secret that threatens to destroy the fragile new trust between them forever.

I had enjoyed The Echo of Old Books by the same author and this book had that element that I was looking for. The concept worked well overall and thought the feel worked with what I was looking for in this genre. The characters were what I wanted in this world and thought the feel worked in this world. I'm excited to read where this series will go and thought this was great.
