I adored it!’ bestselling author Shari Low’Such brilliant characters, such amazing insights and some great one liners that I hope I will remember. I thoroughly enjoyed this - must go to sleep now as it is nearly morning but I couldn’t put it down! Enjoy.’’I don’t usually take the time to write a review but felt compelled to do so for this book. A story of 4 generations of women and their stories and how information withheld from each creates unforseen repercussions that spin out over many years. I felt like I was reading someone’s personal journey of discovery and not just a character in a book. Quality realistic conversations throughout. Lovely story!’’What a great read. Read it over two days because I couldn’t stop thinking about it. It just hit home with all the 'family secrets' that seem so important at the time and so meaningless generations later. It really hit home as I work through my own genealogy. Good read and I will definitely watch for more by this author.’’A heart-rending, heart-warming, heart-stopping and hilarious tale of a mother’s love and a wounded soul rediscovering her awesome potential for life and (we are left hoping) for lasting love.’’Sometimes heart-breaking, frequently laugh-out-loud funny and always searingly honest. The story is a rollercoaster and one that I was hooked on until the very end. More from Janet Hoggarth please!’’Best book I’ve read for a long time! An honest and empowering read.’’A real page turner! This book is written in a heartfelt and endearing way... the author manages to create a realistic story full of joy, heartbreak, tears and laughter.’
