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!
