4.5 out of 5 stars!Thank goodness this book picks up right where the previous left off, or I would have been screaming at my kindle.  We jump right in to trauma, chaos and confusion and watch how such an event takes the casual relationship of Zeke, Jeff and Mary and turns it in to the tight, emotional bond that Sloan Johnson excels at.  I love the way she focuses on the emotional connection of her characters – something so many books these days are missing – and she does another fantastic job here.  Because she creates such a connection, the story feels so real – the emotions, the conflict, the journey.Zeke has been one of my favorite characters from the start, even more so now.  He was always the emotional center for the alliance,  but here we see a vulnerability that makes him even more appealing.  And this book is about his journey – acceptance of who he is, his relationship with Jeff and Mary, and his place in his family.  I loved what the three built together, and the alternating POV ensured you felt the highs and lows along the way.This was a terrific read for me.  I would have loved to have seen more with Holly and Tommy given how the previous ended, but still loved it just the same.  I am such a fan of Sloan Johnson and this series.  If you haven’t already given her books a try, you will not regret it when you do.
