Thank you #partners @booksforwardpr @shewritespress and the author for my #gifted copy. 

Thoughts: 
This was a very powerful read. It was not easy to read at times but it’s such an important subject. The way this was constructed, we learned pieces of information at a time and as they unfold this stunning story evolves. I felt so much for Marti. Her past, her relationship with her daughter- Tess- and her quest to find out who she really was all kept me glued to this book. My daughter came in my room at 3am and asked why I was still awake and I said “I can’t stop!)”. She asked if it was because it was a deadline and I said no, I cannot stop reading it’s that good! 
As a child of the 70s I loved all the flashbacks. Little tidbits of my past crept out of the memory vault. 
Know that this deals with sensitive subjects so check CW if you need to.
