Let me first start by saying I could not put this book down, I was on the fence when I first started reading it and then bam next thing I knew it was 4pm and the book was finished.  Kevin Alan Milne does an amazing job with the transitions throughout the book as well as the character development.  He brings you into the life of each character as he felt them and shows you that there are bigger things at work out there.

This is the story of a young woman, Sophie Jones, who in her own right has been holding a secret for 22 years about an accident that claimed her family.  Her life is currently on a downslide, she owns a great business, but has been very unlucky in the love department.  A year ago she had been happy, with a loving fiancé life could not have been better, then all of a sudden everything was gone and she was destroyed.

Fast forward a year later its her birthday, her best friend is trying to make her feel happy and then things go sour again, Garrett walks through the door and then everything is upside down, he wants to explain why and she wont hear it so she sends him on a mission that he must accomplish prior to her hearing what she has to say, but did she realize it was going to turn into her mission as well.

Events start happening that will lead Sophie to the truth of what happened that day 22 years ago, how will this effect her?  Will it heal her heart and soul, or will it just remain the same.  Throughout the book you meet amazing characters that will touch your heart, you will feel the emotion and see how each of them has had a special impact on Sophie’s life.   They will show you that there are things out there that we don’t know about and things that are helping to shape us into who we are and what we become.  I truly liked this book, it helped me put into perspective how things have lead me to where I am today and I am grateful.
