Many thanks to NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing Amazon Publishing for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest novel by a favorite, Suzanne Redfearn - 4.5 stars rounded up!
The Egide family is trying to figure out how to move on after the death of one of their children, Bee. The mother, Marie, inherited a family home in New Hampshire that they plan on selling to be able to afford a new house in a different city for a fresh start. But you can't run away from your problems, and soon the family has new ones to deal with. They didn't realize that a disabled war veteran, Davina, was living in an old cabin on the property. Marie can't sell the property with Davina there and Davina says that Marie's grandfather wanted her to stay.
I loved the way this book was written. We hear from each family member and Davina - each chapter picks up the story and moves it forward in these different voices. The reader gets to feel the story play out as each character experiences things in their own way, dealing with their own issues as well. Davina is such a wonderful, strong character who has so much to teach us, while also coping with immense sorrow. This story focuses on grief, guilt, and the really important things in life. Another wonderful read by this author!
