Received this book in exchange for an honest review.

First book I've read by this author. Despite several typos in the book, the story itself was ok. It was a quick read. Cora and Ezra are trying to function on their own after the death of Noah, Cora's husband and Ezra's father several years prior. The story starts with a young man, Daniel, who is left for dead. Daniel and Ezra were close friends when they were younger and Daniel's family lived in the same duplex and Ezra and his family. Both now 17, they have grown apart and Cora has left the church where she felt grounded when she was married.

After hearing about Daniel, Cora starts thinking about the time when they lived next door to Daniel's family and how close she and his mom were. She wonders if she can fix that fractured friendship. While doing laundry, she discovers Ezra's clothes in the washer covered in blood and starts wondering if her son was involved in Daniel's attack.

Cora's boyfriend, Riiggs, is an investigative journalist covering Daniel's attack but he doesn't know about the connection between Cora and Daniel's family. She's not sure she wants him to know.

The book ended with a neatly tied bow but it left me feeling as though there could have been more to the story.… (mais)

When we adopted 11-year-old Holden, we weren’t wearing rose-colored glasses. But we never could have imagined this.

They say you can’t pick your family. But I picked mine. Did I choose my daughter’s murderer?… (mais)
