I gave this book four stars. It was a very fast read for me. And one that I really enjoyed. I am a mother to two daughters. It seemed like the mothers of daughters were the ones that would disappear. I know that it is hard sometimes to parent a little girl but it is never too hard for me to walk away. I feel for these characters and understand why they may walk away. I also asked my husband if he would remember me if I left for 20 years. He for sure would. So that was a little hard to believe. I gave this book four stars. It was a very fast read for me.
