Resumen del Editor

Felicia Lyons, a stressed-out stay-at-home mom, struggles to sprint ahead of the demands of motherhood while her husband spends long days at the office. Felicia taps, utters mantras, and breathes her way through most situations, but on some days, like when the children won't stop screaming her name or arguing over toy trucks and pretzel sticks, she wonders what it would be like to get in her car and drive away.

Then one evening the telephone rings, and in a split second the harried mother's innocent fantasy becomes a hellish reality. The call pulls her back into a life she'd rather forget. Felicia hasn't been completely honest about her upbringing, and her deception forces her return to the Philadelphia of her childhood, where she must confront the family demons and long-buried secrets she thought she had left behind.

From a phenomenal fresh voice in fiction comes the compelling story of what happens when the dream falls apart. It's the unforgettable tale of love, loss, rediscovery, and the growing pains of marriage.

Touching

I love a book that makes you evaluate yourself and this was it! She brilliantly told the story of past and present while keeping you on the edge of your seat! I loved it and will read anything else written by this author!

Excellent Story

Such a beautiful and touching story. The narrator really brought the story to life. The mommy moments were very relatable.

Great Realistic Story

The story was well written and well narrated. I could see the story as it was being told. Relatable from all aspects and all characters.

The realism of the characters. Very relatable.

I liked the way it ended. Also had some bits of history imbedded in story

GREAT READ FOR BOOK CLUB!

This book definitely had us all on the edge of our seat! I read this with our book club Litty Literature Atlanta! The narration was great! Would love if there was a part 2!

The Deceit

The book started a lot/little slow, It took me a minute to get through the first few chapters but then it became very interesting & entertaining however, I was disappointed with the ending, we never found out who was the mystery woman that visited her mom, or if the friend's boyfriend went to court after he got out on a bond or if Preston found that out and the Big finale the make up sex between him & his wife. They elaborated on the adulterist sex. It left me wanting more, I guess I had to use my imagination & read between the lines.

Frustrated with some of these folks

I have a strong notion to slap a couple of these people, maybe more! They made me plain mad. I am tired of entitled people and whining children!

Nice

It wad a very nice story but there were things the book left un resolved but perhaps it's because their leaving room for a part 2. The story kept me interested and engaged and was even funny in some parts.

Good read

The story stressed the importance of not keeping secrets. They have a way of getting out.

Felicia

This story kept me on the edge of my seat. The narrator was awesome. I often forgot it was one person narrating. she portrayed each character very well.
