Synopsis

In this stunning sequel to her acclaimed debut My Brother's Keeper, #1 national bestselling author ReShonda Tate Billingsley brings her real-deal insight to a heartfelt new novel about a wife and mother on a daring rescue mission-to save herself. Freshly forty-five, Aja James knows that her life is good, complete with a loving, wealthy husband, well-adjusted children, and a beautiful home. Yet the truth is, she feels painfully unfulfilled, stuck in the present, haunted by a painful past. When a friend suggests a girls' trip to a tropical paradise, Aja hopes a change of scene will also change her perspective. On vacation, filled with fun and freedom, Aja is relieved to find her spirits lifting. But her good time also shines a light on what's troubling her: from her siblings to her husband and kids, she's spent nearly her whole life taking care of everyone-except herself. She's lost her spark. She's lost her identity. Desperate to turn things around, Aja makes an impulsive decision-one that outrages her family and stuns her friends. But it may also be her wisest choice. Because it's only through learning what she could lose-and what's truly worth keeping-that Aja can transform this temporary fix into real, lasting happiness.

Goodreads review by Rena Terrell on September 16, 2019

This book made me sad. You chose to love a person. A man doesn’t define you not does your passion. They didn’t do any counseling it was just 20 years of surviving. She should have gotten counseling after the tragedy in her family happened.......more

This book had me hollering at the characters and wanting to say a few choice words especially to that spoiled daughter of hers and that mother needed the lay hands ministry on her several times.

Goodreads review by Angela on January 23, 2022

The storyline drew me in, but it's so sad. Aja felt empty even though she had a handsome partner, the house of her dreams, smart children, great job, and 3 best friends.
