White Picket Fences by Kyle Ann Robertson – Review by Shannen Kern
White Picket Fences by Kyle Ann Robertson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was my first book from this author and what a marvelous rollercoaster of emotions it was. It’s always unnerving yet validating when someone can seemingly peer into your life with their own experiences, and that’s exactly what Kyle Ann Robertson did. I feel like a lot of people are focused on telling others what a blessing motherhood is, which while true it does ignore the less glamorous side of it. I feel like every mother would tell you the same as well. Our main character, Julie, has spent her entire adult life ensuring that her kids know what home sweet home should feel like. She spends all of her time providing unconditional love and a myriad of duties for her family which all go unnoticed. Then the family unit must deal with a devastating loss together and somehow find their new normal without growing apart from grief. I highly recommend reading this book as it encapsulates motherhood, grief, and hope. You won’t be disappointed if you give it a chance!
