What a journey! I read this book at the request of my husband, and I absolutely understand why he loved it so much. Two broken families, in so many different ways, brought together by love and commitment despite all odds. 

I loved watching the character development and how they each fell apart and came back together across decades. I was so invested in all of their stories individually, but the way they interconnected and the growth each character had along with how it impacted the forgiveness and reconciliation as a whole was absolutely beautiful. 

I wouldn't recommend this book to just anyone, but if you want to feel something.. this is the one!
