It's the epitome of women's fiction. I've never read a women's fiction book that I was so consumed by. Please take a few hours, a few days, whatever you need and read this book. It's one my most favorites for 2014."</i> - <b>Shannon Daniel - Amazon Review</b><br /><br />"This book moved me in ways that I find hard to explain in this review. The only thing I can compare it to is another book I read that also moved me in ways I couldn't explain - Night Road by Kristin Hannah. Ms. Cooper's writing is rich and descriptive; you can see and feel what the characters see and feel." - Amazon.com Reviewer ButtonsMom2003<br /><br />"Oh wow...I just finished and am sitting here stunned by the depth of this story...I have had so many emotions rung out of me by these characters. Ms. Cooper's ability to capture so many characters individuality is storytelling at its best and says much about her talent as a writer!" - Amazon.com Reviewer S. Schwartz
