Tara Connelly is being released by prison, having served 18 months on a drug related charge. She managed to get through her sentence by drawing and creating stories for other inmates' children, and her own nephew. She is shocked when Det. Brian Nolan is there, as he helped put her in prison. Brian wants to apologize to her, but can't do it. He feels a connection to Tara, but knows it is a career danger to be involved with an ex-con. Tara is trying to put her life, and her family, back together,. Her brother, Eddie, suffers from a brain injury, and her sister, Geraldine, is a bit neurotic, and a hoarder. All of these lead Tara to make some interesting choices.
This is ultimately a story of love, family, and trust. Tara does everything she can to protect her family, often to her detriment. I liked the relationship between Brian and Tara, and I loved the loyalty Tara had to her family, esp. her nephew, Conor. I enjoyed the parts about her art/drawings, and the partnership with Gordi and Lance, the teens that took a chance on Tara.
Enjoyable read.
