If you have ever believed in your one true love this story might just show you that it is possible to have two that equally have filled your life. The author has created a descriptive work of art as she takes us on the journey through Allie’s life. While there are instant connections, some will last a lifetime and others will prove to be jaded by a dark secret. Allie is a wife, mother and friend who suddenly finds herself facing her worst nightmare.While I wanted to love Ben, I found myself feeling sorry for him. He made some choices that ate away at him and showed he was not the man Allie thought he was. The emotional turmoil that surrounded their marriage was explained in a shocking twist of events. Never having a chance to explain himself, Ben remained a man whose memory hung on a simple “I’m sorry”.At first I found Jake to be nothing more than a player who wanted what he couldn’t have. Much to my surprise, this man was in love with his best friend’s wife. Watching him struggle through relationships of his own was a painful experience. I can only imagine the heartache he lived with even if he wasn’t able to admit it to himself.I was pleased with the way this story played out. This novel is a perfect example that love really is patient and kind. Second chances are granted to those who are deserving. Thank you Ruthie for creating a beautiful story if life and love.
