A Better Place by Jennifer Van Wyk

5.0

AMAZING read!! Carly has been to hell and back because of her ex. She and her son Jack left Vince, the "man" she was married to, and built new lives for themselves far, far away. Carly built walls, no, towers,
around herself so she would never be hurt again. And then she meets James. James seems to have the power to dismantle the tower.
I hate that Jack had to grow up too fast because of
his "dad", but I absolutely LOVE how he was able to help his mom become stronger. He helped her see that she would be able to take care of herself if she ever needed to.
This book was real, emotionally charged. This book is real life. Unfortunately I think too many people have been, or know someone who has been abused. I hate that it happened to Carly, but I love the woman she became. Another masterpiece of a novel!
