About

Sometimes the thing that keeps us from making the wrong choice is the one thing we can't control
As an investigative reporter and the host of her own TV talk show, Faith Marin works to expose the truth for her viewers. But in her personal life, she's anchored her world with firm boundaries in order to hide a family history she'd like to forget. By contrast, her husband Geary's life is an open book. An easygoing pro bass fisherman, Geary is the ultimate family man--and his overbearing relatives don't know the meaning of boundaries.

Faith and Geary haven't been married long when their differences start to derail their tender relationship. Surely love shouldn't be this hard. While Faith considers whether divorce is the only answer to their issues, tragedy strikes. With her life in the balance, she finds that the one she has been shutting out may be the very one she cannot bear to lose.

Kellie Coates Gilbert takes you on an emotional roller coaster as she weaves together unexpected trial, self-discovery, and forgiveness in this profoundly honest portrait of the tensions that can break a marriage--and the ultimate healing power of love.

My review;

Faith Martin has her own show as well as being a reporter. She loves to let everyone know the truth about others, But, she is also keeping her own life a secret. She has  a husband named Geary and he has no secrets from her or anyone else. Even though they have had a short married life it is getting harder not at all easier. Faith wants a divorce. Then there is an accident that no one was prepared for. will this bring them closer or further away from each other? This is a novel of family and family obligations. It is also of love. I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book for  a review and these are my opinions.
