As the business begins to turn a profit, a shocking twist of events sends Sophia’s life into turmoil and destroys her sense of security. After a series of threatening phone calls and a hit-and-run accident, she’s more desperate than ever to protect her son.

Letting go!!
I gave this book a "5" rating because it was well written. The story line kept me interested from start to finish. There is a mystery to figure out and it shows a broken woman learning to become a strong person. I have read several books by this author and have enjoyed them all.

This was a good quick read, but I found the segueing into the past very abrupt and confusing. The plot was a little bizarre, but I did love everything about Lucas, Sophia's high functioning autistic child.

Was Really Enjoying But
I really liked the book until the last page. Ending not what I expected. It left me disappointed. Hoping there's a sequel.

Repeat, repeat and repeat!!
Once again to the backstory. Once again to the backstory. Once.... You get it. For me, too many interlaced characters to keep track of.
