Recurring themes: Cancer. Marital discord. Enduring friendship. Split time (WWII and present day). Unresolved issues (can't we all relate to that one!) and reminding us how wounds from the past can affect multiple generations. Forgiveness....and so much more.
Ceelie believes she has just turned an important corner in her breast cancer journey. She has made it through treatment and surgery, and is finally able to see the light at the end of the tunnel - when she is completely blindsided. Reeling, she turns to her dear friend Darlene, who she met during treatment. Darlene is nearing the end of her life and realizes that she has some unresolved circumstances regarding her father, which leads Ceelie on a journey to hope and perhaps some healing of her own.
I appreciated that not everything was tied up "perfectly" at the end, because it felt much more realistic. The veteran's stories, the marriage journey, challenges in regards to forgiveness and healing - all beautifully illustrated in this lovely book.

was provided a complimentary copy of this book from Thomas Nelson Publishers
and NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
