Many thanks to NetGalley, Bookouture and S.E. Lynes for the opportunity to read and review her latest book - definitely a gripping family drama - 5 stars for a multi-faceted book that I couldn't put down.
So many secrets even within a family. An angry, abusive husband and a wife trying to hide his abuse from everyone, including her kids. Carol finally escaped her husband but leaving with their kids, Graham and Nicola, wasn't easy and didn't solve all their problems. Graham became involved with the wrong crowd and eventually was put in prison.
Told in different viewpoints and from different time periods, we see Nicola, a successful attorney, returning home for her mother's funeral. We learn about all the family secrets as well as those along the way who helped them become a family again.
This is the story of a family in crisis and how they survive. It's the story of how we can let others help us along the way, learning to trust again. Beautifully written - gritty and real. Highly recommended!
