Out of all of Amy Havatny's books, this one stands out! A real moving story that gets you sucked in from the first page. It is the story about a husband and his ex wife who share two children in common. The husband has moved on and started dating a new woman who he proposes to. The issues surrounding the ex wife and the fiancee are true to life. And the young daughter's conflicts are all told with a realness that you can understand. I liked how she told it from all three female characters and the pace was just right. I could not put down the story since there is a mystery about what happens to the ex wife and the pain that comes from her death. It brings up a lot of issues tied into what is family....is it merely by blood or due to how one cares for another person. I see a movie coming out of this book. All the three story lines and differing points of views you can relate to.

Are you a woman who thought that children just weren't in your picture? I am one of those women, so when I read the synopsis of this Amy Hatvany book, I was immediately drawn to Grace's story and could not wait to start this one. Grace is a woman who falls in love with a man who has two children with his ex wife and as this won't spoil the book, the ex wife tragically dies and the children must move in full time to their dad's and Grace's new home.
