This is the first book I have read by Leavitt, but I will definitely look into locating some of her other books. This book had a unique beginning. Isabelle is running away. Life hasn't fulfilled many of her dreams. She desperately wanted children - and that didn't happen. Then she finds out her husband Luke has not only been unfaithful, but his girlfriend is pregnant. It is time to leave.
April seemingly has it all. Her husband, Charlie, loves her. They have a precious son named Sam. Sam is a great kid but his parents worry constantly because of his severe asthma. On a foggy day, miles from home, April is in the car with Sam. Isabelle is on the same road. Suddenly Isabelle sees a car in the road facing the wrong way and a woman in front of it. She hears the scream of a child. And then everything goes black.
Isabelle finds herself back home. She is recovering physically but not mentally. April is dead. Sam is traumatized by the accident and won't talk about it. Charlie is worried about Sam and trying to cope with his grief while figuring out what April was doing with Sam on that road.
The characters are believable and there is a touch of mystery. It kept me reading for hours on end.
