OMG… this book truly took me on a rollercoaster of emotions. I kept having to remind myself that this is fiction and not too stress so much about Jenny’s secret, but I think it’s also so important to recognize the realness to this book. The fact that this is a fiction story but can be true for many women is just utterly devastating but I appreciate the author acknowledging that in the acknowledgments. It such an important discussion to having around current AND past views on adoption, abortion, and the flaws of the prolife movements. 

I just need to say that Bernard Quinn is an angel on earth.

The way he was so able to forgive and embrace Jenny’s secret was beautiful. He didn’t have to be okay with going 60 years without knowing about James, but he was so kind and forgiving to Jenny. The forgiveness will truly stick with me and remind me to forgive more in my life as well.

I think we can all learn so much from his character and even on just how to forgive. 

I enjoyed the plot and all of the characters but final chapters were just so powerful that it is all I can take away from this book. 

I think everyone needs to read this story asap.
