Such a great read! The author does an amazing job of weaving the past into her present. Such a page turner. I couldn’t put this book down. It’s been a long time since I have read a book in a few days. If you’re looking for a book that pulls a life changing event into the present while helping herself and others.  The best part of this read- the author doesn’t write in a cheesy, predictable way. She unfolds this story in an extremely relatable and amazing prose.
