    About this ebook

    Trouble comes in threes, Grandma CeCe always said…
    A baby. Just holding one sets Julia’s heart thumping. She’s wanted a child for so long. When she finally gets pregnant, she’s bursting to tell the world….until a checkup from the doctor confirms a miscarriage.
    Julia’s world feels like it’s dissolving. This second tragedy following her father-in-law’s death, shakes her and her husband Greg. To support his mother, they uproot their lives and move to Greg’s childhood home. Under the bright Midwestern sky, Julia can feel a new world and new hope beginning.But trouble comes in threes, and soon a boy shows up at Julia’s new daycare whose blue eyes and freckled face look eerily like Greg’s. Despite her love for her husband, Julia finds her thoughts haunted by the boy’s face, and she can’t shake the feeling that her husband has a secret.

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      I usually tend to stay away from the chick lit, but I've been trying to read more genres. It's a good thing I did! While I have never been in Julia's shoes, I found with the author'a writing style I could very easily sympathize with her. This book is heart breaking at times, keeping you rooting for Julia. It's a quick read, but a very enjoyable one!

      I detest cheating and I was so disappointed in Greg. Not sure I could have forgiven. Good writing but hated the plot.
