This was just a completely involved novel. Totally engrossing in ways that are hard to fnd in many books today. The lead character has started thinking about her life, her mistakes and her future. She leads you on a soul searching, heart wrenching journey to figure out the rest of her life while trying to make up for her indiscretions and still hold her family together.

Enjoyed this novel. It had family dynamics, a bit of a mystery, but it also included looking back on the Vietnam war. Nice insights on a divided country and the young people coming of age during that time. I liked the way the husband was a good guy, so the main character's search into her past was hers alone and not tied to a response to hubby's actions. Faith was dealt with a study, fair discussion.
