This story read like a Lifetime movie, but you know what? Sometimes a girl needs a good Lifetime movie.

The story is told from alternating views between mother and daughter after their family suffers a loss. Their relationship has always been strained but their tragedy reveals many truths that drive a larger wedge between them. The story is filled with lessons of love, forgiveness, and acceptance. While the characters have many regrets, I did not regret reading it one bit.
