BOOK BY: Susannah B. Lewis
What an emotionally layered read!
Moira is approaching her fiftieth birthday and plans the perfect birthday weekend with friends she’s neglected for too long. Each friend has her own issues, and every secret will be exposed during this one unforgettable weekend.
This is raw, in that the author digs deep as she tackles the issue of grief, alcoholism, adultery, domestic abuse, control, and poverty. The women are faced with their struggles, but friendships are strengthened as they share the issues they’re faced with. There is a strong message of hope as one character shares her faith in Christ with others, and characters decide to face those things that they are struggling with.
It’s not a light read, but the message is powerful.
I received a copy of the book from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are my own.
