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

What a beautiful tale of grief and self-discovery. Julie grew up a military brat and longed for the life she now lived in her forever home with her husband and kids. However, the walls start closing in when tragedy strikes. Julie has to find her way through being unavailable for her family on an important day. When she tries to hold her family closer, she creates a distance that ultimately leaves her feeling alone and unwanted. All she wants to do is make it right, but what will that look like for her in the end?

I finished this book in a day! I could not put it down as I was tangled more and more in Julie’s web. This tale will resonate with mothers worldwide. Julie’s emotional journey is one that I can relate to, and I know others will as well. I laughed with her and cried for her as if I were living her life too. As we get deeper into her story, the complexity of her character is beautifully displayed as she tries her best to find her place within the family. The vivid details and supporting characters bring the story to life. I imagined Julie’s world and could picture each scene as the words flew off of the pages. I am humbled and warmed by this beautiful story that I am thankful to have read!
