Rating: 4/5 Stars

Book Blurb: Sometimes we’re placed in the strangest of circumstances for the most important reasons. After her carefully constructed life crumbles, Liz Carlisle finds herself back on Nantucket, picking up the pieces. With the family estate under renovations, the solitude she craves seems out of reach. Matthew Stone intends to steer clear of his new tenant. She’s carrying a load of baggage, but as long as she pays the rent, he’ll let her be. He’s got enough to deal with caring for his wayward niece, Mia. Liz doesn’t have time for teenagers and her track record with men is abysmal, but an unlikely friendship forms between the three. When her former boyfriend is charged with assault, Liz is called to testify against him. But he knows the darkest secrets of her life—secrets she’d hoped to keep buried forever, and he’s ready to reveal them. Telling the truth is the right thing to do, but it may cost her everything she’s worked so hard for, and all she’s come to love.

My Review: This was a great read! Catherine west does a fantastic job taclking some tough issues with compassion and enough lightheartedness that it makes them easier to read about. I loved how real the characters she created felt to me and how easy it was to empathize with them. This book has a Christian theme but it is light throughout the book and I think it will appeal to both christains and non-christians. Although this book does include characters from a past novel, The Things We Knew, it can easily be read as a standalone.
