A raw tale of early love, rivalry and betrayal. Her oldest son’s suicide attempt shocks the Halversons and forces Agnieszka to reveal a past she has kept from her children.

Passion for music. Hearing her talented, irrepressible grandaunt Jola, a concert pianist in Poland, give a piano recital, young Agnieszka discovers a passion for music. Jola hones her talent and feeds her dreams.

Shattered dreams. Real-world problems, thorny relations with a mother tied to her roots and betrayal by Jola shatter her dreams.

A mother’s youthful dreams thwarted and renewed, amidst the exciting promise of the 70s.

Author's Bio:

EJourney is a realist who thinks she has little imagination. Credit that to her training (Ph. D., University of Illinois) and work in mental health, writing for academics and bureaucrats, and critiquing the work of others. She’s been striving ever since to think and write like normal people.

She’s a well-traveled flâneuse—a female observer-wanderer—who watches, observes, listens. And writes. A sucker for happy endings, she finds enough that depresses her about real life, but seeks no catharsis by writing about it. For her, writing is escape, entertainment. She doesn’t strive to enlighten. Not deliberately. But the bias of her old profession does carry over into her writing. So, instead of broad shoulders and heaving bosoms, she goes into protagonists' thoughts, emotions, inner conflicts, insecurities, and struggles to reach balance and grow.

My review;

This is Book 2 in the Between Two Worlds trilogy by E Journey. Agnieszka really believes that she knows and understands her son Peter. But, when he tries to kill himself she feels that she must tell her children more about herself. As she tells her story to her children the reader will feel a lot of different emotions for her. I felt sadness, anger, and then hope and wonder. Will her children be able to handle the truth?  I really liked this story. I  cannot wait to read the next book in this series. I was given this book for  the purpose of a  review. I give this book a 5/5. These are all my opinions.
