I love books about families and friendship and this book was perfect for me! Lizzie and Rachel have been good friends for years. The years have not always been kind to them. Lizzie is divorced, her college age son seldom talks to her, and after spending her marriage taking care of her husband and son she has few skills to help her find a much needed job. Rachel seems to have it all. Her life is wonderful and she has an amazing husband. But something is missing that she desperately wants. Add in Rachel's mom who is fighting problems of her own and you have the story of three strong determined women. Wonderful characters and a great story! Highly recommend!

heartwarming story of love and life
This book tugged on my heartstrings. I immediately fell in love with Lizzie and wanted her to succeed and I found myself having such endless hope for Rachel. Rachel’s mom Sarah Jane will make the female readers realize it’s never too late to find happiness or oneself. This was a book of reality and life’s punches where proper discovered breathing through it one day at a time until strength built was the only way to survive. I read it in one sitting because I just got immersed into the characters. I believe I have found myself a new author.

A Great Preventing Yourself!!
This book was easy to read and I enjoyed it, The two husbands one Sara Jane's one was a controlling jerk just because he was rich and did respect her. Lizzey was also one who left her for a younger girl. Lizzey and her Son Eric who keep going to his Dad's house ignoring his Mom finally after getting a wonderful girlfriend saw how he was treating his Mom not very good he was seeing how terrible he treated her. Gabe and Martha were Mozart friends who helped her opening her business. Read the book it turned out great.

I love it!!
This is always the hard part, writing a review!
I love it as a stand alone but I sense it'll become a lot more! The story line is going fine then the punch in the GUT, OUCH.
Now I blindsided and can't imagine where your now! No idea like Gabe, who dunnit?
You're new characters are a delightful addition. I see a lot more stories!

Can’t wait for the next one!
I’ve loved every single one of Kay Correll’s books! I especially like that they are series’ and carry over with the same characters, usually introducing one or two new each book. Absolutely lovely stories, wonderful author - you can’t go wrong!

Good read from Correll. I really liked these characters and the plot, even it if led to a bit of sadness. I think their growth outweighed the sad. Was hoping to see Steven loose his shirt or go to jail. Looking forward to reading more from this talented author.

A fantastic stand alone book that I'd love to see turn into a series.
I'm already in love with these characters (minus 2 of them .lol). You'll figure out who I'm talking about.
Love Kay Corrells book and hope you enjoy this one.

Good buildup and background of the characters
I enjoyed the story. Initially it seems slow but that is because the author gives a good buildup of the characters and this is Book one of what I hope will be another series. I look forward to the next one!

Great book
This is a heart warming book about friends and family. It tells you that even when terrible things happen you can go on with the help of family and friends. A very uplifting book.

Disappointed a little with the book.
I was disappointed with so much sadness in the book. It was too much like real life. When I read I like to escape real life. There is enough of sadness in the real world. Stick to your previous kind of books.

Wonderful
This book was difficult to put down. So real and things like this do happen in real life. I love seeing the women be strong and stand up for themselves.
