review 1: Wow. That's all I can say. I don't know why I chose this book to read but by the 2nd chapter, I am sucked in. It is one of the emotional book I have read after a long time and usually I avoid books like that. Lisa is a recent window who was married for 30 years. She receives a mail about a post office box and things go down from there. She finds that her husband has got a second mortgage without her knowledge and no insurance money. She also finds that he has a mistress and son and the bother-in-law and sister-in-law(who is her best friend) knows about it. She is just devastated by this revelation. Her daughter is not close to her and she finds it hard to tell her everything.She is a real estate agent and meets up with Terry who wants to date her. Terry genuinely loves her... more and she feels better about moving on with her life except for the fact that she couldn't forgive her in-laws and her husband. She sells her condo and moves in with Terry.In-between, Rick is obsessed with Lisa and stalks her. In the end, Rick ends up shooting Terry and he dies telling her to move on.This is one of the most emotional book, I read for a long time. I was in tears towards the end of this book. I kept thinking how would I feel if it was me. Would I be able to forgive the in-laws and the husband? would I be nice to the mistress and son? How is that its easy to accept for lot of people that its ok to cheat. Lot of questions in my mind. But overall, its a wonderful story and I give it 4.5 stars.
review 2: Brenda Hill has managed to tell a tale of mystery entwined skillfully with romance and sorrow.Lisa Montgomery finds herself in dire straights when her husband dies after many years of marriage. She manages to climb out of her depression and go on with life, only to find her husband had hidden many things and left her seriously in debt.She begins a quest to find what had happened to the money that should have been left. This quest causes her pain and anguish, but she is unable to stop seeking and finds romance during the search. I was unable to quit reading.This is a good story of hope and new beginnings. less
