Synopsis:

Drew Robbins Warren is a mother of two, whose husband has just left her for a younger woman. Leah Cline is a pregnant eighteen-year-old with no family, no friends, and no money. The only thing these women have in common is loneliness. Through their unlikely friendship, Drew and Leah learn to embrace life and everything that has been offered to them. But will either woman open her heart to love another man again?-

My Opinion:

WONDERFUL! This is such a beautiful story of anger, pain, and sorrow turned into friendship, devotion, and forgiveness.

At only 150 pages, this book doesn't disappoint! It is better tahn most of the 350+ page books I have read. Following Drew on her journey of divorce and depression is so heart wrenching (I've been there). Following a pregnant Leah on her journey of abuse, abandonment. and search for love (I've been there too!) is .... Well, you just want to reach in the pages and hug her. You want her to move in and fix everything for her. This book is a wonderful example of how on ARK (Act of Random Kindness) can change someones life (possibly our own).

It is simply a beautiful story of how 2 ladies help each other beyond words, with just a converstaion. One finds her strength and the other her life.... Read it! You can get a used copy on amazon for 5 bucks plus sipping.... OR you can wait until the 17th. I will be posting a giveaway for 3 copies on Juy 17th after my current giveaways end... You have got to read it... I can not possibly give this book a high enough rating..... 5 stars! All the way

There is one sex scene if you will... a one night stand. It isn't too descriptive, but I would still let my 12 year old read it... It is just wonderful.
