This book is told by two women. Tessa is a new SAHM with two children under 5. She is married to a surgeon. She had a good career as a professor but decided to leave the job to be with her family. Valerie is a working single mom. She made mistakes when she was younger but has turned her life around. She worked hard to become a lawyer and give her son a very good life.

An accident brings their two paths together. Now if I told you how and why, you would guess where the book is going. It is such a good book and well written that I think it best you read it.

I usually pick one character and route for them through the book. I could not decide and ended up liking them both and hoping for the best for both knowing that was impossible.
