In this debut novel Emily Morris was a typical college student. She had a high school boyfriend who was still a part of her life but she was interested in some of the new guys she met. And one day she met a guy named Drew who lived in the apartment next door. Soon they have an intense relationship and get married even though they were still very young. Life is good until things begin to unravel. Drew's mother begins to need more and more help. When she moves in with Drew and Emily the marriage becomes more and more stressed. This is the story from Emily's past. It is interspersed with the story of Emily's present. Emily is thousands of miles away from her life with Drew, living with her 13-year-old daughter. Drew doesn't even know Emily is alive - the last time he saw her was on 9/11. She escaped death that day. All these years later on the anniversary of 9/11 she is in the office of an oncologist. Things have to change.
I enjoyed reading this novel and look forward to other ones from Ms. Hooper.
