To me, this is a suspenseful story of motherly love…….

A dying mother’s wish for her son to grow up in a loving, safe home.

A mother’s love to protect both her birth son and her adopted son who was formerly her nephew.

A mother’s unconditional love for her troubled son and her need to continue to be a grandmother to his child.

And a mother’s love for her daughters and grandsons, wanting to ensure that her daughter that has died is not forgotten.

The question is, how far would you go to love and protect the ones you love?  Whose recollection of the past do you believe to ensure you are making the right choices for their future?

Although I would occasionally become annoyed with the authors use of very long sentences throughout the book, I enjoyed the storyline and characters and felt the past and present were well entwined to make it flow well.  It was a page turner as well so that was a nice bonus.  I would definitely recommend it.

Thank you to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for an electronic copy of this book in return for an honest review.
