Windswept by author Cynthia Racette swept me away with this emotional story about love, betrayal, forgiveness and survival. It captured my attention from the very beginning and I could not wait to finish reading so I would know the ending. Caroline finds out that her husband, David has been having an affair and now must deal with the repercussion to their marriage. David's act of betrayal has destroyed his family and his guilt consumes him, so he moves out to figure out why he did something so uncharacteristic of him. Caroline and their daughter, Lily must cope with not having David living with them and try to survive. I liked Caroline's close relationship with Lily. Adding tension to this situation  is David's best friend, Matt who offers his support to Caroline and possibly something more that could destroy a longtime friendship. The characters were well developed and I enjoyed the friendships and interactions throughout the book. The author did a great job describing all the emotions that one would go through in this situation. I actually enjoyed Matt and Caroline's relationship and was torn between wanting her to move on with him or to work on saving her marriage with David. I really enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more books by this author.
