My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this story. It portrayed what many mothers/wives go through – how often we give everything of ourselves to our families, friends, jobs and lose a bit of ourself in the process. This story tugged at my heart – I could feel what each character was feeling and just wanted to help make it all better. Julie and Micheal had a great start to their married life – twin girls, a son… but when death takes someone from our life at an unexpected time, it is hard to pretend that things were okay before the death and that they can go on after. The family each has their own grief and guilt to work through… but it is even more than that. It is realizing that letting go, giving space, and finding yourself is what keeps you together.

White Picket Fences is a contemporary fictional story of loss, love and life and the debut book by Kyle. It is a family drama full of regret and sadness. White Picket Fences looks at the dynamics and complexities of family, marriage and one’s place in it all.

It is a story that many will relate to. I think everyone in a marriage at some point feel like they are not appreciated and taken for granted and at times almost invisible. When looking at the person in the mirror is not someone you recognise anymore, and this is what our MC goes through in this story.

There are a lot of emotions in this heartfelt and gripping tale where one person’s actions change all that they know. Where tragedy becomes a heavy burden to bear. Where everything starts to unravel. Where everything you want to keep you push further away.

Can they ever get back to forever? You will have to read it to see what this family goes through.

Julie is just trying to do the right thing and put her family together again after the loss of her son, Curtis. Oh my, that family would make me lose my mind. I have to say that I would do what she did also. I mean, I could not fathom that type of loss but still… The writing is beautifully done as the author transports us back and forth from the tragedy to current times. We see how the how family adjusts. It’s a lot and you feel all the emotions they are going through. The characters are well-written. Her win daughters are so relatable. I think the only semi-normal one is Roger. I did feel as if I was intruding on a private moment but that is what makes it a wonderfully done family book. Love it. 5 stars for sure. Definitely on my Best of the year for sure!

 White Picket Fences is a heartfelt family drama fueled by an honest story of motherhood, written for those of us caught up in our own self-searching journeys. The one thing Julie Cahill knows because of her transitory upbringing as a military brat is that she never had a hometown. So she has made sure her kids would grow up in one forever home, in a forever neighborhood, with lots of forever friends. Yet her dream of a permanent hometown has her feeling fenced in. Set in the Delaware Bay area, Julie has achieved her dreams but struggles with having to accept invisibility, underappreciation, and being taken for granted by her family in trade for her unconditional love. Her guilt over not being available for her family on that one fateful day has her challenging karma by tightening her grip on her daughters and husband, ultimately pushing them away.
