Thanks so much to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read and review this book!
I love Catherine Ryan Hyde's books - they are just great character stories that always make you feel good at the end. Plus, there is always a lot of wisdom in her writing that leads you to think about being a better person without coming across sappy or preachy.
Her latest is so exception - Allie and Bea are both characters who meet when they are experiencing the worst crises of their lives. Allie is a teenager whose world gets turned upside down when her parents are both arrested for tax evasion crimes and taken to jail. When there is no short-term foster placement for her, she is put in a group home where she meets up with violence from another resident. Running away, she realizes that she has nowhere to go.
Bea is an elderly woman just scraping by on her monthly Social Security checks. When she falls victim to the infamous IRS scam and loses her money, she is forced to leave her trailer and take off in her van.
These two people meet and are forced to confront trust issues and start relying on each other. This is just a good story about faith in people and standing up for what you believe is right.
