Source: I received a
copy from the author in exchange for my honest review.
As I started this book I wasn’t really sure what to
expect. The book is written in such a
way you must continue to read. You have
multiple story lines throughout that are all intwined. We find Cat, a young
scarred woman who has recently married.
She has never told her husband of her past for fear he will find her
hideous. As a child she watched her parents constantly fight. It culminated in
her father killing her mother and then taking his own life. Her younger sister who was only two at the
time never spoke again.
Then we have the glimpses into her life after her parent’s
death. She and her sister are taken from
the orphanage to live with a couple. You
get from the short clips of memory that they were treated no better than
slaves. All these things she’s kept
hidden from her husband Gray. But hers
are not the only secrets. Things take a drastic turn when a man named Rance steps up on her porch.
There is so much I could tell you but don’t won’t to. I’ve left out so many things so that you the
reader will need to read the book. The book is written with such great emotion
that you are Cat as that young child, hiding while her parents fight. I felt Cat’s pain, fear, isolation, and
lonliness. This is one of those books
where you feel such emotion and want things to turn out well for her. Barbara has once again taken the reader,
thrown them into the middle of a
situation letting them fend for themselves for a while before throwing them
life saver. Well done.
