Mara Jacobs is barely holding life together. With her husband on the other side of the world saving people by providing clean water, she is back home raising three kids, two of which are heading down the dangerous paths. Tragedy strikes. Again and again. And Mara is plunged in to grief, despair, depression and does not even know how to begin to hold it together.
What a beautifully tragic story of how to grow amid walking in grief. This is the first book I have read by Ruchti and she did an amazing job bringing the reader in to the Jacobs' home, in to their lives, their emotions, their grief. This was by far from a light, airy book, but one with heaviness, but redemptive heaviness. You can see the cracks of light shine through the darkness as the story progresses all the way to the end. You can feel the pain, the anger, the love, the forgiveness that takes place within the characters. How forever friends are always there. How new forever friends are formed. How family rallies. A fantastic read by ruchti.
Revell Reads sent me this copy to review for them. Opinions expressed are my own.
