Ryan Porter, Rachel’s oldest son, needs a change from his busy city lifestyle. After five years of living in New York and establishing his own real estate firm, something is still missing. When a family tragedy brings Ryan back to his family’s rural home, he meets Tyra. She just might be the catalyst for the change he needs, redirecting the course of his life. But first he must accept his relationship with his parents and embrace Tyra’s secrets.
Rachel Porter tells her sons about the love of her life, about their father and about their life together.

It's a tale her sons won't forget, and one that could change them for all time.
TISSUES.....don't start this book without them!
This isn't a fairy tale story it's real. The emotions that this book brought out in me were visceral and messy...they were real. I loved that this look at how Robert and Rachel came together wasn't sugar-coated, it was honest and told with more emotion in 50 pages than some full length novels that I have read. The quote in the book from J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye, "Turn your scars into stars", was perfect for this story.
RATING: 5 Chocolate Dipped Strawberries. this book was given to us by the author. Many thanks!
