Publisher's summary

An Amazon Charts most-read and most-sold book.

Author Barbara Davis deftly explores an emotionally charged landscape of pain, loss, and despair - and the risk one woman will take in the hope of loving again.

As a teenage runaway and child of an addict, Christy-Lynn learned the hard way that no address was permanent, and no promise sacred. For a while, she found a safe haven in her marriage to bestselling crime novelist Stephen Ludlow - until his car skidded into Echo Bay. But Stephen’s wasn’t the only body pulled from the icy waters that night. When details about a mysterious violet-eyed blonde become public, a media circus ensues, and Christy-Lynn runs again.

Desperate for answers, she’s shattered to learn that Stephen and his mistress had a child - a little girl named Iris, who now lives in poverty with her ailing great-grandmother. The thought of Iris abandoned to the foster care system - as Christy-Lynn once was - is unbearable. But she’s spent her whole life running - determined never to be hurt again. Will she finally stand still long enough to open herself up to forgiveness and love?

Predictable

Not one unanticipated moment , pure sap, kept going waiting for a plot or something intriguing or even a quirky character, but no dice.

When never comes

It was a good book, but the author kept using the name christy Lynn every paragraph that it became almost annoying!

Excellent story.

I enjoyed the story even though it was, at times, very difficult to listen to because of the sadness of it. The audio book was performed extremely well and the accents of the characters were very good.

It’s not a gritty drama or thriller

The précis given my the publisher is misleading. It’s an easy listen but more of a story about a woman getting her life back together.

All of the best ingredients

This was a story that was very well-crafted. The main character is not a stereotype but is a fully formed woman with issues. Those issues are not easily resolved and her evolution is very believable and satisfying.
