For the last year and a half, you could sum up my life in one word… disastrous.

One simple phone call was all it took to change my life forever.

If I could go back and do it again, what would I change?

Everything.

It all hurts so much. The pain never ends.

What should have been one of the best days of my life turned into the absolute worst.

Blood. So much blood.

Cast in a shadow that turns my days dark, and my nights even darker.

Before I can put the pain of the past behind me, I need to fix what’s broken.

The first step is believing it can be done, the second is forgiveness.

But forgiveness doesn’t come easy, least of all for who is to blame.

For every choice, there are consequences.

Some good.

Some bad.

Some simply unforgivable.

One poor choice made me the target of a sociopath.

Laughter turns into tears.

Tears turn into screams.

And once again, I’m reminded just how cruel life can be.

But….

I’ve come to learn after every storm, the sun shines again

And, someone taught me life is only worth living if you smile.

It took almost losing him for me to understand.

What would I change?

Everything, but him!

Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆

A tragic, emotional roller coaster of a read.  Box of tissues is essential.

Hope starts out hopeful on a day that turns out to be the worst of her life.  Events tear her apart and she loses hope.  A chance encounter Ian brings her hope again and helps her rebuild her life.  But life has other plans for this sweet couple and takes them in other directions.  Enter Damian and an intense connection but life is not always better on the other side.

We need to seize opportunities that come our way and never give up hope.  This is definitely something I will take away from this book and keep close to my heart.  These characters are real and genuine and you will fall in love with them.  This was both heart breaking and heart warming and provided plenty of surprises along the way.

"Wow. This book is beyond amazing. Believe me, when I say it. Just believe me and read this story. You won’t be disappointed. I’ve read a lot of books about grief and loss but this book is one of the most complete, most amazing books ever. It’d be so easier to say I’m totally speechless. This story totally took my breath away. It was my first book from Heidi Lis, but if I knew she writes with such a power, I’d grabbed her other stories way more earlier. Her writing style is hands down amazing. The way she built up the story…well, let me say my jaw hit the floor, not just once. There were times where I was gasping for air, I just didn’t know what will happen with the characters. I was totally under a spell. I practically couldn’t put it down. (And I really did not put it down.) My heart, that poor thing, was broken into a million pieces. But then came Heidi Lis, and she put the pieces together again. And again. I’m just gonna leave my mumbling here. I can’t form any coherent thoughts. It was not my last book from this author. And it was not the last time I read THIS story. A must-read, people, the biggest must-read of the year. Mark my words." - Reader Review
