Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

Alison is a very dedicated mother. Maybe even a little over-protective. Understandable when you learn to know her past. She has come far. Her world, however, is shaken terribly when a man called Tom knocks on their door. It takes time to come to grips with what he reveals. Their family is almost pulled apart. And exactly when everything seems to become a little better again, everything tumbles completely.
The book is written from a first-person perspective with some flashbacks. Little by little the reader learns how Alison came to be in this position and how hard the way to be here was. However, the writing style is not very catching and somehow it is very apparent the author is a woman, even if you didn't know.
