Book Synopsis:
When Kate’s husband, Ward, locates the son she put up for adoption as an unwed teen, she’s understandably wary. What if he looks like his father instead of Ward?
The boy, now a man, is also wary. Who are these people who suddenly want him to be a part of their lives? Where were they when he was growing up, when he needed to feel a part of something bigger? After meeting each other, everyone’s fears dissipate. And though it's not the joyous occasion Ward envisioned, it's not the disaster Kate feared either.
When Ward passes away unexpectedly, Kate is devastated but thankful he never knew the truth. Facing the rest of her life alone, she returns to work in the company he founded. She’s still coming to grips with life as a single when she learns her son was adopted into the family of Jesse, the boy who turned her away as a pregnant teen. Now, she must deal with her feelings of anger and betrayal while keeping her son and daughters from learning the truth.
Review:
The first thing I noticed about this
novel was how easy it was to get into. It's the type of book you can
get lost in for hours at a time and it all boils down to the author's
writing skills. The author has crafted a story that feels real. It's
got the right emotions to let you know that this isn't the same-old
story – this is something more.
I like that the author switched between
the characters so that you could get a feel for what the entire
family is like. But, I also loved the flashbacks and how they were
interrupted as the character's own memories were interrupted with the
present.
I agree with another reviewer that said
it's difficult to move on after reading this book. This is one of
those books that you'll be thinking about long after you finish
reading it.
If you're looking for a book that isn't
your typical everything is perfect tale, this is the book for you.
It's emotion-packed and a real page-turner.
