This was such a good read! All three of these women were so different, yet connected in heartbreak, decisions, and family. Harper is struggling with motherhood and whether she really wants to have a child after all they have been through. Raina has three wonderful children and when her oldest heads off to school she is itching for another one, but her husband just doesn't them being able to afford a fourth and tries to help her in filling her time with a hobby of hers. Callie still struggles with her past, a decision that was made for her and the "what ifs" that might have changed her life. All three women are thrust into the middle of a life changing situation and as questions are being asked, it is realized the past may just hold the answer to some of these questions and the decisions that are needed. I really enjoyed this one and look forward to more by this author. Thank you to the author for the complementary ebook and to Suzy Approved Book Tours for the invite.

Wow, where do I start? This book was hard to put down. The story lines of the three main characters, Harper, Callie, and Raina were masterfully written. Each woman has her own story in itself. They are strong, well defined characters with their own unique situation but what I love about this book, is the way each story is folded into the others. The tale of each woman, the life she is living, the life she wants to live and the circumstances surrounding her are unique to each of them, but when put together as a whole picture, they are so intertwined and they connect is such a beautiful way, it's brilliant! I loved how each husband and immediate family was so different from the others, they were all uniquely their own, but yet at the end, you see just how much they shared. I would love to see a sequel to this story. I found myself not wanting this story to end. This book has happiness, heartbreak, suspense and surprise all rolled into one story! Wonderfully written. I truly enjoyed this book!

If I had to say anything negative, I would have liked to see more of Harper's husband, Gabe's personality get developed. His interactions with Harper were minimal and he really didn't seem to add anything to the story, he could have been absent all together and it wouldn't have changed the overall picture. We were able to see the inside of Wayne and Raina's life and the relationship they had was so wonderful, in contrast to Gabe and Harper, it just felt like something was missing, but maybe that was the whole point?… (mere)
