TODAY'S BOOK GIVEAWAY
Description:
Deputy Benjamin Patil is the one to find the infant girl--hours old, abandoned in a field. When the mother can't be located, Ben and his wife, Abbi, seem like the perfect couple to serve as foster parents. But the baby's arrival opens old wounds for Abbi and shines a harsh light on how much Ben has changed since a devastating tour in Iraq. Their marriage teeters on the brink and now they must choose to either reclaim what they once had or lose each other forever.
My Thoughts
I really loved this book! Abbi really spoke to me in ways I can't even articulate. With pains and fears that well up inside me too. There were moments when the things she realized about herself were realizations for me too. The characters are great, real, and striking. Fabulous!
