Darra's Review:
Absolutely loved this book. Kept me interested to the end. This book touches on a story that is rarely talked about. This is real. And I think that is why I loved it so. Not all stories are happily ever after from the beginning. She is torn with all the lies and deception from the ones she loves. However she feels that she is doing what is best for all. You can't help but go though every emotion. You love, hate, sympathize, cry and smile.
The book has it all. From the front to the back of the book. Fantastic story and I truly believe this is a one of a kind story you must read.
I rate this book a 4.7. To many words to say that you must read the book.
Excerpt
I stood at the cold dark water’s edge, my reflection staring back at me from the glasslike surface. The reflection of a girl that I no longer knew. I breathed in the overwhelming scent of pine and recognized the tranquility that surrounded me. The soft hum of the city in the distance, the echo of an eagle’s cry overhead, the steady drum of my heart—the only sounds that could be heard in the quiet serenity that was present all around me.
Inside an entirely different scene existed. Whirling thoughts, like hurricane-force winds, blew through my mind while a dark, thunderous storm was raging inside my soul, cutting the power to the central organ of my existence—my heart. I was destined to weather this storm on my own. After all, like Mother Nature, I was the controlling force behind these conditions.
I threw a stone into the mirrored surface of the water before me and watched the small circular wave expand from the point where it broke through the stillness.
It was hard not to think of the stone as the choice I had made, the choice that inevitably created waves in the smooth waters of my life. The first lie, like the first ripple in the water, seemed so small but quickly became more significant. Each wave growing in size and depth, impossible to stop. The effect from that one choice spread through my life like the ripple moving across the surface of the water.
I longed for the stillness.
