Margaret Jacobsen has a bright future ahead of her: a fiancé she adores, her dream job, and the promise of a picture-perfect life just around the corner. Then, suddenly, on what should have been one of the happiest days of her life, everything she worked for is taken away in one tumultuous moment.

In the hospital and forced to face the possibility that nothing will ever be the same again, Margaret must figure out how to move forward on her own terms while facing long-held family secrets, devastating heartbreak, and the idea that love might find her in the last place she would ever expect.

My second Katherine Center book did not disappoint. This book really has just about everything: heartache, pain, resentment, depression, forgiveness, hope, love, tension, joy — you truly can laugh and cry, but in the best ways.

Center’s characters are complex, which I love. They aren’t stereotypical and they aren’t completely predictable. No one’s perfect, and no one’s the devil. They’re just the kinds of people you can imagine in your life.

Center’s quickly becoming one of my favorite authors with her focus on women’s lives and issues while weaving in such sweet, swoony love stories.
