I cannot even attempt to properly describe this book to you, because it is way better than even the description on the back cover of the book! Really, the description of this book is the bare minimum of what it is really about. Yes that is the main idea, but there is so much more to it! Slowly throughout the novel, connections between people, events, and places are being made. As I read on, I was realizing more and more the weaving of the characters and their lives. The only way I can describe the ending of this book is "BOOM". Everything that I thought was going on wasn't even the big deal anymore. Truths are coming out, and the weaving of the characters stands out so much more. It's absolutely amazing.

I absolutely love the description and details of characters in Diane Chamberlain's novels. Every character serves a purpose and was put into the novel for a reason. Diane included a woman who caused so much pain even though she is dead, a daughter who is doing anything and everything to get somebody to pay attention, a son who is completely ignoring what has happened, a father and husband who is completely shutting down, one friend who wants to come in and save it all, another friend who is trying to understand what is going on by living through the dead woman, a man who is in love with and setting up his life with the dead woman, and finally, an old lady who knows everybody's secrets. Everyone just fits perfectly together by the end of this book. It's absolutely amazing how well written Diane Chamberlain's novels are. She doesn't forget a single detail.

I did absolutely love it though, like I do all Diane Chamberlain novels. She is just a wonderful writer. Every one of her books I have rated 5 stars. The details of events, places, etc. is just amazing!
