White Picket Fences by Kyle Ann Robertson – Review by Kerry Carr

White Picket Fences by Kyle Ann Robertson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a really interesting read. I really loved this author’s writing. It felt like the author’s writing was describing my life in parts. As a mother I know the feeling of losing yourself when you have kids. You do everything you can to protect and support your kids that in the process you lose yourself and the relationships you had before the kids came along.
Julie Cahill has tricky life growing up. She was always on the move never staying for long periods of time in one place she never felt like she was settled or that a place was home. She vowed that her own children wouldn’t grow up that way.
Fast forward and her family are dealing with a sudden loss. No parent imagines they will have to bury their child. Now the whole family are dealing with this loss, Julie’s relationship with her husband is suffering and she is trying to hold on tighter to her girls to protect them like she couldn’t protect her son.
Julie is battling grief because the one time she did something to rediscover herself was the same day the accident happened and Curtis was taken away from the family.
This is a story of love, grief, loss of a loved one and loss of yourself and about rediscovery. It is a very heartwarming and moving story and there is definately parts that I could relate to.
