Ava found what
she always wanted in the love of her two sons and her husband, Mitchel. She fell in love with Mitchel, a widower, but his son Jack
stole her heart. When she gave birth to their son, Sam, she thought
her life was complete.
Nothing stays
perfect. With the pressures of his job, Mitchel becomes more of a
perfectionist and very controlling. He draws away from Ava and
becomes more demanding of Jack. He seems to ignore Sam. Ava is
concerned, but thinks things can be worked out until one terrible
night when their marriage begins to come apart.
The story is told
from the viewpoint of each of the main characters in different
chapters. While this is an interesting ploy, I found the voices of
the characters to be very similar. Ava and Jack were the most easily
distinguished. Mitchel's chapters didn't seem to relate well to his
personality. I found Ava an annoying character in the opening
chapters. She seemed too nervous and too much under Mitchel's thumb.
However, as the story progressed she began to stand up for herself
and became more interesting.
The story is fast
paced and easy to read. It draws you in and keeps you wondering how
this family will resolve the crisis. If you like a family story
that includes a bit of mystery, you'll enjoy this book.
I reviewed this book
for BookLook Bloggers.
