"A compelling page-turner one won't want to put down."--New York Journal of BooksTwo women. Two families. Two lifetimes' worth of secrets.
In the wake of her husband's sudden death, Cassie Costas finds her relationship with her teenage stepdaughter unraveling. After their move to historic Tarpon Springs, Florida, Savannah hates her new town, her school and most of all her stepmom, whom she blames for her father's death. Cassie has enough to contend with as she searches for answers about the man she shared a life with, including why all their savings have disappeared.
When Savannah's rebellion culminates in an act that leaves single mother Amber Blair and her sixteen-year-old son homeless, Cassie empathizes with the woman's predicament and invites the strangers to move in. As their lives intertwine, Cassie realizes that Amber is hiding something. She's evasive about her past, but the fear in her eyes tells a darker story. Cassie wonders what the woman living under her roof is running from...and what will happen if it finally catches up to her.
My Review:
5 Stars
This is one of those books that I definitely wish I had read sooner. I absolutely loved everything about this book. From the storyline to the characters...everything is phenomenal.
Amber and Cassie are very relatable. Especially for all the struggling single mothers out there. Their different situations are actually something that brings them closer together. You do have one that is keeping a secret and one that will end up revealing many she had no idea about.
This is a story about family, redemption, forgiveness and generally doing the right thing. There are some moments of suspense as well. Overall a very well flowing story with a great resolve.
I will be keeping an eye on this author. I can't wait to see what is next.
