This book had me locked in from the beginning! I experienced so many emotions while reading this book: anger, sadness, hope, love, embarassment, and even she'd a few tears. It's books like these that move you and make you stop to truly think afterward. What if my life were different? What if I was in the wrong place at the wrong time? How much I love my family and my children, and what lengths would I go to to protect them. Is our Justice System broken? How do the actions of others trigger traumatic responses? And for that, I give this book a glowing 5⭐️ recommendation. There are also twists and turns along the way that you never expect, yet they seem so fitting for the title, in hindsight.
