4By Montanafilly73Little bit of a roller coaster on emotional insecurities (especially in men), but all in all, good reading and HEA.Michael’s Family
5By rjborBeautiful Story, so many emotions, happiness, grabbed my heart. Made me cry. Wow, one of best I’ve read this year.Michael’s Family
5By egganerOne of the best sad to happy endings I have ever read. Loved the strong characters who met their issues head on and came out on top. I have an adopted daughter who does not know anything about her birth Mother. She feels a loss and wants to find her. That scares me. While my daughter was not born out of a rape as the teenager in this book, she does feel the abandonment. An emotional read on all levels. 7/29/21Michael’s Family
