This is the third in the Brennan Sisters trilogy and I was excited to read about Sarah, the youngest Brennan sister. Her husband cheated on her a few years ago, and though she said she has forgiven him, she hasn't forgotten.
His job keeps him on the road a lot and his time away gives Sarah time to herself, and time to question and think. She says she has forgiven him but she wonders if he is cheating again since he is away so much. He swears he isn't, that he is being faithful to her since they almost lost one another a few years ago. She isn't sure she trusts him, or if she really forgave him. Can they move forward and build a new foundation, with Sarah forgiving him and Boone regaining her trust? Or will Sarah decide to start fresh on her own?
The Good Wife is a page-turner with many prominent elements - love, forgiveness, trust and knowing one's true self. Porter does another splendid job of creating memorable characters with a modern and relative setting, which makes it easy to connect with the characters. If you enjoy reading good, solid fiction, pick up The Good Wife! You won't want to miss the first two in the series though, The Good Woman and The Good Daughter!

Sarah is the youngest of the Brennan family and she has lived far away from them for a long time. Living in Tampa, FL due to her husband's professional baseball career, she spends many months as a single parent as he travels playing ball. This book begins just as the last one left off, the family is all in California for the funeral of the matriarch and are trying to comfort one another. Sarah stays in California for a bit to help Meg and thankfully is there when Meg's world falls apart.
I was most excited to read a book that concentrated on Sarah and her story. She had played a role as a minor character in the other two, but I couldn't want to hear more from her. I felt as though the beginning didn't center on her as much as I had wanted, but mid way and through the end I really felt like Sarah took the center part of the story.
