There is no feeling stronger than maternal love, strong and selfless. But what do you do when caring turns into excessive control? A happy housewife, Jude devoted her life to her children, twins Zach and Mia, putting their needs above her own. She accepted Lexi as her own, a girl with a troubled past, her daughter's best friend and - later - her son's lover. Unfortunately, the idyll created by the woman did not last long. Shortly before graduation, on a hot summer night, the fate of all the heroes changes dramatically. One wrong decision and the consequences are irreversible... One of Kristin Hannah's best books is a bright, emotionally rich story about motherhood, love, hope and the courage it takes to forgive those we love.
