Wow, it's kind of hard to know where to start with my review. This book left me feeling full, satisfied,
unbelievable honored that I had the chance to read this touching story. I absolutely loved this story. At times it brought tears to my eyes, other
times it made me laugh and chuckle, and then there were those moments with Viv
and Ike that made me all tingly. It's
not an easy story at times to read at all - because there are a lot of things
that come up that could cause "triggers" for some readers. But, it gripped me, and once I started
reading, I could not put it down.
I'll start with Viv. I
loved Viv - who she was, what she believed in, how unbelievably strong she was
. She was a survivor in every sense of
the word. You couldn't help but cheer
her on, shed a tear for her, want to hold her close and celebrate with her all
her victories. I was so proud of her.
Then there's Ike.
Isaac. Talk about a fine specimen
of a man. I'm not just talking about his
appearance, I'm talking about the true man that he was. How he handled Viv was perfection. He knew just when he should stand beside her,
behind her, or lead the way for her. The
care he took with her feelings warmed my heart, and made me fall in love with
him along with Viv.
I don't want to give much of this story away - it should be read
and experienced by each person reading - learning of Viv and Ike's past life
and their future as they go. Their
authentic story felt so real - the way situations were handled and dealt with
were actually how things really happen in life.
The secrets, the facing the truth, the denial, the owning up, the
repairing of relationships and the moving forward were perfectly handled and I
could see this as a real life story.
Please, definitely take the time to read this amazing story, I don't
think you will be disappointed at all.
