When I read the blurb about this book on NetGalley, I was intrigued. Tabitha's husband disappears and the suspense of the goodbye note: "“I’ll tell them what you did.” So I thought I would give it a try. My intrigue ended there though and I ended my relationship with this book early without completing it. I just could not put up with Tabitha. Why so many lies? Avoiding the truth? Difficulty in finding a job? Stealing?
I found so many of the situations in the story so hard to believe. She wouldn't be the first to have a spouse leave them in a bad way. Why would you not share with your friends and look for help? The feeling of "shame" really should not have kept her from getting help for her children, at least!
I am sorry Lake Union Publishing, I just could not finish this story. Thank you for giving me the opportunity though.
