I don't read books that are sad, I avoid them at all costs unless I know there will be  a Happy Ever After,  I just  can't cope with the emotions unless I know it's all going to work out in the end.This was written by my all time favourite author and I was honored to be given an arc. I must say that I'm so glad I did, I pulled up those "big girl pants" and took the plunge and read this amazing beautiful story.Was it a story about torture and kidnap, captivity or sadness, hope, and forgiveness or dare I say love, well yes to all of the above. It didn't feel like I was reading a book it felt so much more personal than that, like it was a friend telling me her life, her story.Mae is such a strong amazing character, she draws you in, and took me on this emotional journey right along-side her, No matter what she went through she never gave up hope and doesn't allow anyone to break her spirit.***tiny spoiler*** Unlike most people Mae knows exactly what life will be, she has the knowledge how her life will turn out and she makes the choices she needs to make to cope with this. I cant say anything else relating to the story as i don't want to give up any details, just you need to read this beautifully emotional tale.An amazingly and beautifully written heartbreaking, both happy and sad emotional story.You know as a reader you always have a few characters that stand out, that you will remember forever. Well Mae Swift is a character that will be close to my heart always.D H Sidebottom has outdone herself with this one it's a definite must read worth so much more than the 5**** that i'm allowed to give.
