Thank you to NetGalley and Ballantine Books for a free digital copy that I read in partnership with the audio.

Two stories that both reflect what it means to find hope and family in unlikely places. I loved how the settings leapt off the page while their descriptions didn’t detract from the plot. I also love that as a girl raised in East Texas the places in both Louisiana and Texas were familiar to me. I was pulled into the stories and was constantly sad when I had to put the book down because I was so invested. Both stories were engaging and I loved how they were woven together at the end in a way I didn’t fully expect.
