Quotes from the Book

Preston doesn't do well with trouble. But that's why I'm here. That's why my name is Mommy.

I know betrayal can unravel a man. I learned early on from watching my parents that men are capable of doing terrible things to women when they feel deceived. When the bubble of trust and honesty bursts, nothing is off-limits.

To love means to embrace and at the same time to withstand many endings, and many many beginnings—all in the same relationship. —CLARISSA PINKOLA ESTÉS
Gran...I just want to say thank you for everything. I didn't realize how much you sacrificed.” “Children never do. Good Lord made it that way.
They say as long as you save one, well that's all you can do.
Don't ever let fear get in the way because you never know what's going to open a door.
You've already elevated this family. Just by being you.

About the book

"So good!" NY Times best-selling author Jennifer Weiner

Felicia Lyons, a ­­­­­­­ stressed out stay-at-home mom, struggles to sprint ahead of the demands of motherhood while her husband spends long days at the office. Felicia taps, utters mantra, and breathes her way through most situations but on some days, like when the children won’t stop screaming her name or arguing over toy trucks and pretzel sticks, she wonders what it would be like to get in her car and drive away.

Then one evening the telephone rings, and in a split second the harried mother’s innocent fantasy becomes a hellish reality. The call pulls her back into a life she’d rather forget. Felicia hasn’t been completely honest about her upbringing, and her deception forces her return to the Philadelphia of her childhood, where she must confront the family demons and long buried secrets she thought she had left behind.
