Taryn Landry was there that awful night fourteen years ago when Long Acre changed from the name of a town to the title of a national tragedy. Everyone knows she lost her younger sister. No one knows it was her fault. Since then, psychology professor Taryn has dedicated her life's work to preventing something like that from ever happening again. Falling in love was never part of the plan...
Shaw Miller has spent more than a decade dealing with the fallout of his brother's horrific actions. After losing everything―his chance at Olympic gold, his family, almost his sanity―he's changed his name, his look, and he's finally starting a new life. As long as he keeps a low profile and his identity secret, everything will be okay, right?
When the world and everyone you know defines you by one catastrophic tragedy...
How do you find your happy ending?
PAT'S REVIEW
| This book is taking on school shootings from a different perspective. You have Tyran Laundry who is a survivor and is now a physiologist, who also lost her younger sister. She has been working on research and ways to find signs of finding students that need help and offer them a program for help. She is supported by her friends who are also survivors of the shooting. You then get a look at the shooters family in Shaw Miller who is the shooters older brother and has changed his named and how his once-promising athletic career is gone. Now the author weaves a story around that have these to people meet fall in love and by them working on healing each other they begin to heal the community, and more importunately Tyran’s family. There is laughter, serious, friendship, disappointment, encouragement by friends and shows how grieve can hold one down. A very good story and I liked all of the characters. I received this book from Netgalley.com I gave it 4 stars. Follow us at www.1rad-readerreviews.com |
