I am super excited to share this book with the community! I came across this gem at my library, and I needed to check it out! The cover art really popped, and the description on the jacket sounded incredible. It is always pleasant to find raw and real novels which tugs at your heartstrings with every turn of the page. The StoryThree generations. One story. Katie is a teenage girl trying to uncover both her family's secrets and her own identity. Caroline is a mother of two who struggles to protect the people she loves most.

As Katie cares for her grandmother, she listens to Mary's tales of grandiosity as a girl. The wise words of her grandmother begin to spark something new within Katie. Suddenly, she is no longer content with going through the motions. She wants to know the truth. She wants to live. And she wants to love.
