A troubled young mother yearns for
a shot at redemption in this heartbreaking yet hopeful story from #1 New
York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover.
After serving five years in prison
for a tragic mistake, Kenna Rowan returns to the town where it all went wrong,
hoping to reunite with her four-year-old daughter. But the bridges Kenna burned
are proving impossible to rebuild. Everyone in her daughter’s life is
determined to shut Kenna out, no matter how hard she works to prove herself.
The only person who hasn’t closed
the door on her completely is Ledger Ward, a local bar owner and one of the few
remaining links to Kenna’s daughter. But if anyone were to discover how Ledger
is slowly becoming an important part of Kenna’s life, both would risk losing
the trust of everyone important to them.
The two form a connection despite
the pressure surrounding them, but as their romance grows, so does the risk.
Kenna must find a way to absolve the mistakes of her past in order to build a
future out of hope and healing.
My Two Cents:
This is the first Collen Hoover book I've read and I was blown away!
This book captured me from the first page and took my on a crazy emotional ride!
I cried and laughed but mostly cried!
You love and root for Kenna immediately, you feel her pain come off the pages. She just wants a chance to know her daughter and find some peace with her past and the people she hurt.
This a story about forgiveness and redemption. Getting past the pain to open your heart to forgive someone is not easy but sometime forgiving yourself is the hardest thing to do!
I love Ledger and how he just believes in her and wants to do the best thing for all who are involved!
AND it has a cat! Kinda had me at the cat!
I give this 5 out of 5 drinks!! Wish I could give it more!
