Emotional, heart wrenching, forgiveness, guilt…..this is the story of this book. I am gutted but yet find hope when I read each page.
There are 4 survivors of a plane crash many years ago. Over 100 died in the air disaster and somehow the 4 survivors’ lives are forever changed. Julie, the stewardess, tries hard to fight for change, as her guilt haunts her on the loss many, but especially trying to cope with Maria’s son, who was a “lap baby”. Paige was the only “lap baby” that survived, but at what cost. Julie wants change in how the protocol of dealing with a possible air accident and when children, especially lap babies, are on flight. There is a 4th survivor as well, that really comes full circle…but in which way? Will there be forgiveness and healing after 20 years have passed?
This story was fantastic women’s fiction that really felt real….and the epilogue just choked me up as I am trying not let my tears flow. This is a fantastic read and I highly recommend this book.
