Wow! This is my FIRST Belva Plain read. It is a SERIOUS page-turner. I could not put it down. It is an amazing story about one woman's struggle through an ugly divorce and the hope and will to continue on for her children. I LOVE stories of hope and courage, this is one of those.
It was heart-wrenching because the author teases you with the idea that the woman, Hyacinth, is starting to find her way and the past resurfaces and keeps her from having the happiness you SO long for her to have.
The hardest part was the author withheld the secret until the absolute END of the book! I don't recall having to wait that long in anything I have read in the past, which makes it a real page-turner, you just won't be able to put it down until you find out! Definite must-read! This book has made me feel eager to read another book by Belva Plain.
