Nick wanted control. Leigh wanted control. Sam wanted control.
This books truly showed the plight of emotional upheavals that a marriage can experience, especially when neither one wants to budge an inch.
Miscommunications, lack of understanding, and the refusal to listen to the other kept them apart.
The sin Nick committed destroyed the trust. And Leigh's childhood baggage added a lot to the problems.
Calvert showed the deep emotional impact among the police officer, the ER physician, and the child crisis investigator. She explored the human thought and behavior and still was able to highlight the hope they all needed.
It was truly an exceptional book and left me wanting to read more of her writing.
