Mattie's just getting used to it being just her and her husband of 19 years, Wes, in the house. Their twin daughters have flown the coop to different colleges.  Mattie's finding that things between Wes and her aren't as smooth as she remembers but thinks it'll be alright with time.  Wes suddenly pulls the rug out from under her feet when he tells her he's finished with the marriage and everything that comes with it.  Mattie's left reeling.I recall reading a little about Mattie and Wes in the book starring her sister Sage.  I have to tell you when I read about what Wes had done to Mattie my heart hurt. What a callous cruel man. Even though I spent most of the book feeling angry and sad, I wasn't able to put the book down.  I wanted to know how Mattie fared in this new direction of her life.  I liked Nat for supporting and helping Mattie when she needed it.  The way he was hot and cold drove me crazy though.C.J. Carmichael has written a book that will hook you and take you on an emotional roller coaster. She writes amazing characters and you're in for a treat.
