I received a copy of this book a couple of weeks ago, and to tell you the truth I really wasn't sure I wanted to read it, it is not my usual type of novel. Bit it was packaged so nicely and came with a nice bag of tea and a pretty bookmark that I gave it a try and I am happy to say I am glad I did! Do you find that sometimes when we judge to quickly we miss out on some of the best things in life? That is what would have happened if I had stuck to my first inclination and passed this book by. So happy I took the time to read it.
This story was "inspired by a true love story", the back cover tells us this. And what a story it is. Julie and Dan have been married over 30 years. Julie adores Dan. Julie's whole life is centered around Dan. Julie doesn't know life without Dan. Dan is a cheater. Dan has been unfaithful to Julie at least 8 times. How can Julie come to terms with facing a life without Dan when he has been everything to her? With her faith being tested at every turn Julie must find a way to dig deep in herself and gather her inner strength, discover that she is more than just a wife to Dan, that she is a smart, vibrant, strong woman who can and will survive a life without him.
This novel takes us on a journey of discovery as we watch Julie struggle to find herself independent of a life with Dan. At times both sad and uplifting, you feel a real connection to Julie and her struggle to overcome extreme anxiety and loneliness, a rollercoaster of emotions are felt as she comes to accept that she is strong and can be a woman worth her own weight, without relying upon a man for support.
I loved this book, it felt so real. I could feel Julies hurt and anxiety over what she was facing and the giant steps she had to take towards independence. It is worth the read, well written, with comprehensive characters and a warm emotional thread throughout, don't miss this novel, on sale April 1, 2021.
I give this novel a 5 star rating on Goodreads. I found nothing to complain about or to detract from. I am looking forward to Judy Prescott Marshall's next novel, "The Inn in Rhode Island".
Thank you to Judy Prescott Marshall and Goodreads Giveaways for the free ARC copy of this book, in return I am leaving my honest review.
