Review:
Great Narrators! I listened to the audiobook and once the story warmed up I loved it! I had a hard time putting it down! Definitely worth the listen!
15 years ago Isobel left her home leaving only a note to her mother saying she was leaving and not to try to find her. Ruth has spent the past 15 years trying to heal and wondering why her daughter, whom she felt like was her best friend, left leaving only the note. Ruth focused on the school that had been in her family for several generations giving the school her full focus and attention.
So one night when Isobel and her teenage son, Issac, show up at her door out of nowhere wanting to stay with her because they have no place to go. Of course, Ruth allows them to stay, she wants to get to know her teenage grandson she never knew. Ruth gets her grandson into her school and gets Isobel to work at the school with her other daughter, Cecily. While Cecily acts cold she soon starts acting like she cares about her sister and her nephew and Ruth is focused on what she can do to help build the school up to the next level. Then, when an investor comes into view Ruth is ecstatic and cautious trying to keep everything in the school a secret to gain the investor so she can try to help the school become a better place! However, when it seems Isobel's past is coming into play when a brick is thrown through the family's window and Issac is attacked at the school. Slowly things start shifting and Ruth picks the school and tries to cover up the attack and reassure the parents of the students to keep the investor interested!
Wow! What I will say about this book is that the ending was shocking! I didn't see the last couple of twists coming! However, Ruth is one nasty individual and proves it time over time that she will pick the school and its reputation over her own daughters!
Thank you Bookouture, Bookouture Audio, and Netgalley for providing me a copy to review!
