This is the most touching read I have ever read. it really doe pull at your heart and yes I wept. It is a story superbly told and one that I am sure I will be talking about and recommending.

Oh my goodness! I have still not recovered from the emotion of this story. It's incredibly heartbreaking for the adults but especially the children involved. I have to mention a part in the book when Evie had me giggling with her but I won't mention what she said you will know what I am talking about when you read the book yourself. Other than that I think I had tears streaming from eyes for the rest of the emotionally driven plot. The author has written a compelling page turner.

What an emotional and heartfelt story! This author has a knack for combining both in excellent stories. Cora finds her ex-husband’s young children alone on her doorstep one day and follows through to become their legal guardian. When both parents return she is torn between them until she hears the full story. I was on edge most of the time I was reading this book hoping the solution was in Cora and the children’s best interests. The author does an amazing job of describing the settings of the book and you feel like you know exactly how it looks. I’ll remember this book for a long time. I think everyone should read this book; you won’t regret it. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

What an amazing novel!
