I enjoyed reading the book but the ending ruined the whole story for me ; and I, for one, judge a book by its ending !

[Kathie Price · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was tiresome. I was never able to feel any real connection to the characters, and a story that should have been emotional was flat throughout. And the ending did not help my feelings at all.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was pretty intense throughout. The characters were developed really well. The author did an amazing job of telling the story through both the mother and daughter. I hope to read more books by this author.

this was an okay book.

[Terri Tinkel · Rating 4 out of 5]

This story involved a mother and a daughter. They have been separated for many years. Each loved the other without question but, as many story lines go; there is a lot of unanswered questions and plenty of misunderstandings. Each of the two main characters have their own back story. The reader learns a bit about how they made their choices and what the results are. This was a quick read. I will be looking for other books by this author.

It was ok, I was not pleased with the ending, I don't feel like it answered my questions. Oh well, it was a quick read but had a sad tone through the entire thing. I don't need sad in my life, I need happy books!
