In a prior book you learned to dislike Carlotta very much and I wondered WHY would the author write a romance featuring her?  I soon found out that this character was like a real woman, one that made mistakes, lived the consequences but because of depression, didn't seem to be able to change her life and be able to recover from herwrong choices.My husband always has told me over and over and over, "There's two sides to every story" (when I say how wrong someone is) and this book tells me yet again that he is SO RIGHT!  Ms. Bolen takes a woman that most readers dismissed as "hopeless" immoral and made her a woman that rose above the errors and began to believe in herself. I believe that Carlotta was as surprised as we were at what a GOOD woman and mother she was is she just trusted herself.This woman had many "Strikes" against her and her self-image but with the love of a good man who believed in her, she became the person he believed she was and in so doingredeemed herself in her own eyes!This was a real eye opener and I will never question my husband's "two sides to every story" again'!  ENJOY this story but I want you-you will have to buy the next one too and I know you'll enjoy that one too.
