Amanda Prowse is an author that I found on NetGalley. There is a twist in every novel and it's always shocking. I can't wait to read every single one of her books.

Rosie Tipcott is married with two young daughters. She works part time as a housekeeper at an RV park, but her main role in life is taking care of her family. She has been trying to have another baby, but has not been blessed yet. She is also noticing that her husband is working a lot of extra hours at this latest job, but she's not concerned, that is until Phil comes home and drops a bombshell. He announces he’s leaving and has met someone else. The “other woman” is wealthy, beautiful and is the owner of the house that Phil has been renovating. In that moment, Rosie’s life is turned upside down. Who is she, if she is not her husband's wife? When he tries to take her children away, it gets even worse, she can't let that woman take her children away as well.

This was such a realistic story, and we hear about these situations all the time. I loved Rosie. She was not a professional woman and was very much victimized. She didn't have a lot of money to fight against Phil and his new woman, all she has was her love for her children. As she dealt with the loss of her marriage, she had to grieve. She has some supports along the way, but it is always hard when friends and family are shared. I was happy to see her grow and develop a spine, although it took a long time. The children were a delight. They loved both their parents and it is hard for young children not to be taken in with stuff and promises of special times and activities, but even they came around. I really enjoyed this story, watching this sweet, trusting woman work her way through this terrible event and come through it as a stronger and better person than she was before it all started. It is a story about identity, and how important it is that we don't just identify as someone in relation to others. We need to be sure that we have something for ourselves as you never know when it will end. My one complaint is the ending. It was a bit abrupt and too happily ever after, but overall, this was a great story.

This book was really good! The story was real and the ending was perfect! I couldn’t put it down! It was loving, frustrating and crazy at times!
