My Review:
This is a wonderful book about a woman's
journey to finding herself. I was pretty surprised by the time I was halfway
through that she hadn't realized that there was something wrong with her
marriage. In a way, his abandonment was for the good because it forced her to
do some serious soul searching and gave her the time she needed to heal and
figure out what she wanted. The characters were so easy to like. I felt really
bad for all of the things that Bryce had endured and it was great that Paige
had begun to change him. Al completely frustrated me but by the end of the
book, I finally understood his reasoning. This is an amazing novel of strength,
courage, and finding one's place in the world. It also exemplifies how we
inspire or encourage others by simply being. What can I say? I loved this book,
I think it's one every woman should read.
