Summary
A daughter’s return home opens old wounds in a novel of family, love, and emotional rescue by the author of Paper Doll Lina.
After three disastrous marriages, a series of bad dates, and a tumultuous relationship with an emotionally abusive mother, psychology professor Nancy Jewel is through with love and commitment. Romantic or familial, the notion is a waste of her time. Content with being alone, she’s starting to feel normal-ish when she learns her father, incarcerated in Georgia, has been diagnosed with a terminal illness. Nancy is determined to get him a compassionate release, even if it means returning home and reaching out for help from the last attorney she wants to see: her recent ex.
Back in her estranged mother’s orbit, and dealing with the fear of losing her father, Nancy wrestles with the ghosts of her toxic childhood and her reconnection with a failed bid at love. When an unexpected career challenge pushes Nancy to the edge, her impulse is to run. What other choice does she have? Face life head-on, and maybe, for once, stay.
Critic reviews
“More than a simple romance, the novel is a hopeful look at how people can change their lives for the better by gaining new perspective.”—Booklist

cut my wrists now please
Gosh this was too depressing. I've got to stop picking books for their pretty covers and going in blind. I utterly detested Nancy, she is the most depressing and frustrating fmc I've read in a long time. She has a chip on her shoulder, lets herself be treated badly by her mother and never recognises the good people in her life settling for second best. I really disliked the story and the fmc. The biggest downer I've read lately, and not in a good emotional way that makes you cry good and sad tears for the characters. But, the "unalive me now this is unbearable" kind of way.
Gave an extra star because the narration is actually quite good and her melancholy voice fits the supper depressing fmc.
Good thing this is free on ku with free audio too.
