Amy Bergstrom is recovering physically after her cancer treatment, but the mastectomy and hysterectomy have left her emotionally scarred. Her husband Paul, an Oklahoma City police officer had been distant ever since the bombing in the federal building. In order to block out his emotions from the horrible things people do to each other, he also blocks out the good. Carly, their teenage daughter, is terrified after finding out her mother's form of cancer is genetic. If she has the same gene, what is the point of going to college or starting a relationship if she's only going to die young? The summer after Carly's graduation, they all spend time apart in ways that bring them healing and hope to come back together as a family.
This was a beautiful story of hope and healing. The author did an excellent job of describing the emotional pain of each character. Thank you to St. Martin's Press and Kaya McLaren for the opportunity to read this wonderful book.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. The views and opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.
