Here is the story of the pain one woman experiences after the loss of her newborn just hours after she is born. A birth defect takes the small life as she enjoys the warmth and comfort of her mother's arms. Now, the parents have to cope with the loss.Let me tell you that this is an emotional read. I struggled with getting through it only because I'd find myself crying. Then I'd put the book aside and pick it up the next day. I tend to get very involved in the stories I read.The POV is from the grieving mother who is staying at a friends house (lighthouse). She couldn't stay in the house with the nursery and all the memories of Lily, her child who is now gone. She deals with the pain each day as she also remembers when she first met her husband and analyses their relationship which is on the edge right then. Her time spent grieving is also her time looking at her marriage and herself.You'll find that this book is very emotional and very deep. It could easily be a great read for a book club or just to talk about between friends. If you have experienced the loss of a child, be aware of the intensity of this book. I hate warning people away from a good book, but you might want to think twice about this one if you have been in that situation.Wonderful book. The characters are deep with many facets. The story is slower than a thriller because you are dealing with emotions and thoughts rather than action. I highly recommend this book for you.Note: I received this book as part of a book tour with no expectations  of a positive review.
