My Thoughts
I don't know where to begin...this story was amazing. It takes a lot to make me cry and this one did it for me.
Without giving too much away, you must read it to understand it.
I have a teenage daughter in a "serious" relationship and if this was ever the situation I found myself in, I don't know what I would do.
This story will tug at your heartstrings and have you really thinking and understanding teenagers and what goes through their minds.
The story revolves around the night Olivia fell and what events bring her to that very moment. You will be devastated for this mother but you will also see the power of healing and acceptance. It is a dark tale with a true light at the end of the tunnel.
Drink Selection
I need to pair a comfort drink with this read, a hot apple cider for this time of year.
