Since I can remember, I’ve always loved to read…
I can recall lying across my bed with book after book flipped open and forgetting where I was, lost in the pages of new and different worlds.
Then came the year I lost my eyesight and I panicked. Among many things I feared, I was depressed as I thought I would no longer be abel to take part in my passion.
Lo and behold, my vision loss coincided with the advancement of technology. Through friends, I discovered the National Library Service (NLS( and the Texas Talking Book program. This program works just like your local, public library for the print disabled. I also learned of Audible through the use of my iPhone.
For those reading that are not blind, I will place a code in this an future reviews for my blind and vision impaired friends and readers. This code is our tickler system so we know exactly where to find a good book that someone recommends for us. Now on with the review…
I could easily copy word for word the synopsis but that’s easily found on the internet. You may want to check out http://www.willburley.com/goodreads for what’s found on the book jacket. My mission is to let you know how this novel made me feel and think during and after my read.
This story is told through the eyes of Emily Morris. Emily is a young newlywed with her college sweetheart, Drew. Life is moving along nicely and Drew’s mother needs him to care for her after a health crisis. This takes the idealism of the marriage away and causes them both to look at reality, which turns out to not always be pretty.
Then September 11 happened and everything changes…
Fast forward 14 years and Emily has a crisis of her own and it forces her to have to deal with her past choices…and that is not a pretty sight either.
You should really take an opportunity to read this book. It was hard for me to put down but I was enthralled to see what would happen next…
Have you read this book? What did you think?
