This popular author has written a page turner. I was hooked from the first thoughts. This is realistic fiction, but it has the undertones of true life. Nonfiction and fiction combined. This is a novel of caring and helping. What a thought-provoking story. The characters are so real to life that one might believe this is a news story. The actions of the protagonist are unusual in that she is trusting and takes in a young man who is homeless. Seldom does one hear of that happening. Don't miss this. Curl up in a comfy chair with a cozy blanket...a cup of steaming herbal tea. Journey with these characters. Thank you Netgally.
