Captivating writing, solid story plot and characters that live on the page, are just a few things this novel hides between its pages.

The writing voice leaves little to be desired. Strong and poignant, its literary quality does not lend that the readers attention goes anywhere, but stays exactly where it should: with the book.

A heart-wrenching story of a woman who has lost her husband in a tragic accident and must move on with her life, but a hidden secret just might tear apart every good memory about their relationship. Its an age-old plot, but told in such a fresh way.

I can see where some readers might become frustrated with Danis attitude, but to me, she was incredibly lovable and while Ive never lost a spousal connection, I understood her pain through the high quality of the writing.

I do have a warning about this novel. Strong language, which did offend me and will most likely offend other Christian readers, should not pick this novel up assuming it to be geared for the Christian market as I did. It is not. Its a great story, but one must contend with offensive language. And Ill be honest, this lowered my opinion of the noveland disappointed me.

The ending is incredibly strong for the tragic bent of the novel. But it closes the book with such hope, a hard thing to do. But well done.

This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the publishers for my copy to review.
