Gracie's life starts
to fall apart when she is left heartbroken after suffering a
miscarriage. Full of grief she withdraws into herself, partner Lewis
is also feeling the loss and through a lack of communication the
couple drift apart and break-up when their situation is made worse by
an indiscretion.
Newly single Gracie
tries to rebuild her life and finds comfort in a group she helps to
set up for women going through similar experiences. The members of
the group are a great support system for each other, knowing they
must find a way to live with the pain of great loss that will never
leave them, she also tries dating and moving on. But she must face
her past to come to terms and begin to heal from her tragic
circumstances.
Although there is a
deep sadness about this book author Nicola May writes the story with
such a fast and lively pace that makes the sensitive issue of what
this story is about easier to read and although it does move you
emotionally and you feel empathy with Gracie, I could not help
smiling at how many times a certain word gets mentioned in this book.
I am no prude but I did find this unnecessary repetitive and not
needed so much in what is a beautifully told story.
