I waited to post for the tour because I was trying to finish the book so I could give my review. Wow. I must say I'm a big Women's Fiction fan. I love deep stories filled with drama and even some angst. I could tell by the back cover this was going to be a good one. I was right. I have a few more pages to go and am so into the story. I will say that if you can't handle a tear jerker or stories that take you on a journey, this isn't your story. You will be sad when you're reading this. Yet, it's a book I can hardly put down. So if you're like me and love a good drama filled book, think lifetime movie, then this is a definite must have!!! Looking forward to more by this writer.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Jenny Lucas swore she’d never go home again. But being told you’re dying has a way of changing things. Years after she left, she and her five-year-old daughter, Isabella, must return to her sleepy North Carolina town to face the ghosts she left behind. They welcome her in the form of her oxygen tank–toting grandmother, her stoic and distant father, and David, Isabella’s dad . . . who doesn’t yet know he has a daughter. As Jenny navigates the rough and unknown waters of her new reality, the unforgettable story that unfolds is a testament to the power of love and its ability to change everything—to heal old hurts, bring new beginnings . . . even overcome the impossible. A stunning debut about love and loss from a talented new voice.
