I was very surprised at how good this Kindle freebie was A feel good story with good characters Beautifully written.

A heartbreaking story, but a very good book, I loved the characters and the way their stories were all interwoven would highly recommend this book.

Lovely stoeryI enjoyed this story so much Heartbreaking at times, funny at times but mesmerizing always I am now on to another story by Teresa.

A truly emotional book about loss, heartbreak, friendship and love Two women suffering the unbearable loss of a child, albeit in different ways, meet and strike up an unlikely friendship, which ultimately saves them The story starts in 1976, with a flashback to 1957, and is told from Kate, Martha, Matthew and Josef s perspectives, and is beautifully and sensitively written.

I found it confusing as it started, who was who and where they were Yet turned out well and I enjoyed the book.

This is a heartfelt story, that I found hard to put down I highly recommend.

Last Kiss GoodnightI loved this book Loved all the characters and their thoughts and emotions Was sad when I read the last page knowing this was the end to the book.
