♥ Review ♥

Wow, what a beautiful book, written exceptionally well.  A true story of love, loss, tragedy, sacrifice, hope and new beginning’s.  I absolutely loved it and it touched a special place deep in my heart.  I honestly felt at times that I was reading a memoir or journal, it was so true to life.  The book sucks you in so much that everything around you ceased to exist.  I was truly transported into the story.  It takes one hell of a writer to be able to do this.  Then to find out this is Trudy’s debut novel, to say I was shocked was an understatement.  I don’t want to give a way to much of the story but I will say the letters to Emily throughout the book touched me in a way that only a mother will know.  So  beautiful.  I cannot say how much I loved this book, but I will say that it is a must read. I can’t wait for the next book in this series!!!
