children and a few secrets to uncover Nathalie had arranged for her best friend Annie to check in on Luke, for 21 year old Jessie to help with the kids, and for letters to arrive on a regular basis with various messages to Luke The concept is quite cheesy, but the characters Bleeker creates are quite good and there are definitely some surprising secrets to be discovered What spoiled the book for me somewhat was that Bleeker seemed to try to pack too much into the story It turns out that Luke, Nathalie, Annie and Jessie all have a lot of complicated baggage...This book is one I have not only read but digested.Its emotional, its intriguing, its kind of concerning.Emotional because Luke had to bury his young wife who suffered cancer and didn t win.Leaving behind three children for him to bring up.His sadness along with helping his children is an everyday struggle that Annie his wife s friend helps him with But then comes a letter through his letterbox, its a letter from his dead

was void of character development The author describes certain things in painstaking detail i.e a mailbox dirt road while others that are farsignificant, are glossed over The end result is like reading an outline unfinished, easy to spot not to mention ridiculous plot twists, a depth that is less than a plastic kiddie pool.The death of a spouse is story enough, yet in all too many novels, authors seem apt to toss in convoluted plot devices ...Good god, the only thing missing in this book was a natural disaster I didn t enjoy it much Too much on the go Too many coincidences Too much flowery writing.Melodramatic at parts, but it has a lot of heart It is a story about a family working through grief, centered around a mystery I had a hard time putting it down Natalie Richardson
