I don’t know what it would be like to be an identical twin, nor have I lived in a dysfunctional family where there are so many hurts and pains. However, I do know that the author, Christina Suzann Nelson has written a beautifully touching story of healing, forgiveness, love, and hope. This book was so captivating and deeply moving. It was a story of three women’s lives and how they all connected. It’s also a story that portrays what the use of drugs and its never-ending pull, can do to individuals and their families. The whole world of foster-parenting, all the ins and outs, fears, and struggles, are foreign to me. I believe it takes a tender-hearted person or people, to be a foster parent. The author truly presents all aspects of this difficult and yet, what could be a rewarding, process. The thing I love about Christina Suzann Nelson’s writings is that she brings such realness and depth to all her characters. I also appreciate the way she writes about some tough issues and how others deal with them. She doesn’t sugar-coat the pain and hurts her characters experience, yet she brings beautiful and poignant resolutions and makes it just The Way It Should Be. I hope you too will pick up this book and read it, it might open your eyes like it did mine. I was given this book by the publisher and in no way did it influences my review, all opinions are my own.
