Many thanks to NetGalley, Lake Union Publishing, and Nick Alexander for the opportunity to read and review this book - loved it. I read this book on the heels of another of his books, The Bottle of Tears, and have determined that Alexander really gets people's emotions - the good, the bad, the ugly. 4.5 stars!
Alice stayed married to Ken, an abusive husband/father, because she didn't see another way to live and thought it was best for their two boys, Tim and Matt. But now in her 70s, Alice is starting to wonder if there could be another kind of life for her. Both boys have suffered their upbringing in different ways - for Tim, a successful banker, there is never enough things to surround himself with - the perfect wife, the always bigger house and sound system. Matt never followed through on anything - dropped out of college right before graduation and ha been traveling the world not communicating with his family much at all. What will happen if Alice decides to make a new life?
Spot on with emotions, this book is hopeful and wise. Another great read from this author!
