Review

Can you heal from tragedy? 

Rating:  5/5

This book touched me instantly. I immediately knew that the tears would start falling. Kayley is dealing with a tragedy; her husband Alex dies and she's left, still pregnant, with their first child.

I was touched by her best friend Emily because she was there for Kayley and supported her through out everything. The grief for Kayley is heart wrenching. I wanted to envelop her in my arms and take away her pain. I admit I cried a few times and almost asked myself, "can I read much more?" But I made the decision to stick with it, and tell you what, I am so glad that I did.

A year after her daughter Alexis is born, she deals with something else.. that's when she meets Ben. He is charming, attracted to Kayley and he has no idea what she has already dealt with in her life. Kayley is not ready for a new relationship, who could blame her after such horrible luck?

When he finds out, Ben wants to give Kayley something to live for, proof that another man can give her love and hope for a good life. Kayley is still trying to heal and it's very hard to change her mind. But Ben is not giving up. He knows how to deal with her, with delicate hands.

This story ends beautifully. There is always a way to deal with loss and come out on top.
