Publisher Description
Twenty-four years after losing her daughter in a tragic accident, Carol Denman has finally made peace with Katie’s father. But releasing her ex-husband from blame and facing how deeply she held herself responsible were only the first steps in Carol’s journey toward peace.
With the pain of her failed first marriage behind her, Carol is determined to mend her broken relationship with her mother. But she soon discovers she isn’t the only one who has been hanging on to bitterness. A road trip to face the past leads Carol’s mother, Judith, to unearth the seeds of past mistakes and deep resentments in ways neither of them would expect.
The roots of family animosity run deep and thick. While Judith seems hesitant to start digging, Carol commits to pruning away the thorns of the past so she no longer has to live a life without flowers.

BEAUTIFUL
There just aren't enough stars in this world to give this book. Five just doesn't cut it. This book was an emotional rollercoaster for me to read. I found myself putting it down for a few minutes here and there because it was too hard emotionally to read. My heart just shattered. Carol's relationship with her mother, Judith is so similar to my relationship with my mother. Marci has a way of writing that is so close to the truth. Carol's journey into healing is raw and gut wrenching but, is absolutely beautiful. To watch her heal and try to repair her relationship with her mother is beautiful, real and one of the best reads that I've ever read. Just as good if not better than the first book. A book that will leave you drained but satisfied. You won't be disappointed. So grab a tissue box and follow Carol of her journey.
