This book is beautiful. It is a beautiful story of a daughter that struggles with allowing anyone in for fear that she will end up hurting them. It is a beautiful story of a mother who left her babies too early. It is the endless struggle of family, faith and love. It is poignant and will stay with you long after you have closed the book. Carol Ann Albright-Easton writes from the heart in this book and it shows.Each emotion, each fear, each tear truly are those from the heart. This book is told from two separate perspectives, leaving nothing to be lost in translation. It is powerful and heart-wrenching. I will admit, this is not a book I would have picked out on my own, but I was so intrigued by it that I wanted to give it a shot. I am so thankful that I did. This book will stay with me for a long time, in my heart.It is an amazing story from beginning to end, it doesn't leave you wondering what happens after, there is no guessing, just the belief in faith and family and love. I adored this book and I am not sure even my words can do it justice on a review.This is love in a very pure form. There is nothing I can write that will do this justice. I found myself crying my way through the end, hoping that Shelby would be ok knowing that her mother had visited her one last time. I was so moved by this book and it made me miss my own mom terribly.But more than that, it reminds us that true love will always be there. Carol Ann Albright-Easton does an amazing job with this book and I will definitely revisit it in the future.
