I don’t know how to adequately review this book! The author wrote such a brilliant book about heartbreak and love, longing and despair, hope and growth. It was such and enthralling read and it really wrecked my heart!
A woman is dying of cancer, her loving husband wants to envelop her with all the love and attention he can give her, so he hires a cleaning lady to take care of the house. And what they got was a young woman who helped him make his wife’s last days happier than he could ever expect.
Love flowed in all directions in that house! Suzanne found a playmate for girl time in the house, Emersyn found a big sister to share all her secrets with, and Zack loved that Emersyn gave his wife purpose in her last days. Emersyn was their rock as the final days came on. And after, she was Zack’s rock.
Emersyn is epileptic and so Zack insisted in marrying her to provide her with health insurance. It was supposed to be a fake marriage with charitable intentions, but lines blurred soon.
I was pretty sure that Suzie had chosen Emersyn as her successor, but Zack needed to mourn and Emersyn needed to chase her dreams. Zack loved Emersyn enough to want her to fly so he pushed her away and off she went. There was so much love and longing and heartbreak in those times!
The writing was brilliant and the angst wrenching. Jewel takes us in this emotional journey of two souls who have to live through their sorrow before they heal enough to be together. But that journey broke our hearts and made us cry many tears.
I think I’ve read the last quarter of the story about five times, to savor and cry some more tears, some sad and some happy. There are moments where the writing was so brilliant, so emotional. There was a lot of growing and a lot of heart in their actions. They wanted so much for the other! It all evolved in perfect order and I loved every word and every tear. One of the most haunting books I’ve ever read!
