Kim Hooper Knihy

Čtrnáct let po odchodu z New Yorku bylo vše v pořádku, ale následující den se všechno změnilo. Emily, která se jako mladá vdala za muže, jehož milovala, si budovala život podle svých představ. Avšak několik ukvapených rozhodnutí, zamilování do jiného muže a nechtěné těhotenství převrátily její život naruby. Rozhodne se manželovi vše sdělit a odejít za otcem svého dítěte, ale její plány se změní 11. září 2001. Tragédie jí poskytne příležitost zmizet z New Yorku a začít znovu. V Kalifornii se Emily, nyní jako Connie Prynne, snaží vybudovat nový život. Když jí však lékaři oznámí fatální diagnózu, musí přehodnotit své priority pro dobro své třináctileté dcery. Tento strhující debut zkoumá, jak obyčejná žena čelí své minulosti, aby zajistila budoucnost své dcery. Klíčová otázka zní: „Jak byste se zachovali vy?“ Příběh je osvěžující, napínavý a dojemný, zachycující ostrou hranici mezi citovým traumatem a velkým zklamáním. Emily je postava, kterou si snadno oblíbíte, neboť se snaží činit nejlepší rozhodnutí. Autorka nám připomíná, že minulosti se nelze zbavit a rozhodnutí nelze vzít zpět. Čtenáři budou přemýšlet o obtížných volbách a možná i o svých vlastních rozhodnutích.
