My Review:
This was a good book about being a mom, wife, woman, and worker. Where does one role end and the other begin? The author did a great job showing the different facets of Grace;s life. The "news" from her husband and best friend was what I thought it would be, and that is okay. It is okay because the author made the book more about Grace's reactions, then the actions of other characters. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
