Reviews

[Sharon Banschbach · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it. This is a moving and emotional life journey of two women. The characters are well developed and the author did a great job interweaving and introducing new characters throughout the book. Every reader will be able to relate to one issue or another that the women face. This tale is about the simple yet important things in life; family, love, trust, and truth. You too will love this book.

Unfortunately, I really cannot find much good to say. This book is a complete mess. The author attempted to show us the differences in the lives of the two main characters, but the story got sidetracked by so many peripheral characters and issues that it was just too much. In addition, there were several grammatical errors and typos. Sorry, but this one only gets 1 star.
