Today's book: from the category General & Literary Fiction, Crossing Oceans by Gina Holmes.
Description:
Jenny Lucas swore she’d never go home again. But being told you’re dying has a way of changing things. Years after she left, she and her five-year-old daughter, Isabella, must return to her sleepy North Carolina town to face the ghosts she left behind. They welcome her in the form of her oxygen tank–toting grandmother, her stoic and distant father, and David, Isabella’s dad . . . who doesn’t yet know he has a daughter. As Jenny navigates the rough and unknown waters of her new reality, the unforgettable story that unfolds is a testament to the power of love and its ability to change everything—to heal old hurts, bring new beginnings . . . even overcome the impossible.
My Thoughts:
Very, very good book! I totally fell in love with Jenny, her family, her daughter, etc. I cried. But the tears were about the beauty of Jenny's grace and love and that of those surrounding her. The storyline was tender and moving and all about the love of a mother for her daughter. I highly recommend this book!
