Kenly Alister didn't have a stable or happy childhood. Her
mother died when she was young, leaving her to be raised by
an alcoholic father. His unstable employment habits meant
moving often, never staying in any place long enough to
call home. Finally, they settle in a tiny town in Canada
where Kenly meets Lexie and Tommy, who become her best
friends. Being plagued with a disfiguring disease since
birth, it's Tommy who becomes her soul mate and confidant.
His positive outlook on life helps Kenly get through the
remaining two years of school.
After graduation, Kenly is accepted at Northwestern
University. She and Lexie move to Chicago where Kenly meets
Ross Lowen. Ross starts out as her mentor in a business
program, but after a whirlwind romance, becomes her husband
following the birth of their son, Connor. Though Ross and
Kenly are totally in love and devoted to each other, their
picture-perfect life is not without troubles and tragedies.
An added strain is the cloud that hangs over their marriage
in the form of a secret -- one that Kenly has carried with
her for many years. If revealed, this secret could possibly
destroy her marriage. After Tommy dies, Kenly knows the
cloud must be lifted.
In her debut novel, Holly Kennedy has written a
beautiful story about love, honesty, trust and friendship.
As the plot unfolds, it moves along so smoothly, you
immediately become engrossed with the characters. It's also
a story that puts you on edge wondering when the secret
will be revealed. And it's not until the final pages that
the outcome is known.
