Bailey, Streeter, and little Olivia made my day, my week, my month. With everything stacked against them, in life, in luck, they persevered, they carried on, they cared, and the loved. Streeter suffered from the loss of his wife, the concern for the suffering of his daughter, uncaring parent, sibling, and in-laws. But his heart was whole, his wanted peace, and it overflowed with concern and care for his daughter, Olivia.

Bailey had always wanted to be noticed, loved, and cared for, but life from an early age taught her to be wary and aloof. Physical was great, but deep down, she wanted someone to know and love her, make her feel needed and cherished. Her life had handed her physical and mental issues that she held close. Sharing them was the same as sharing her heart, and she guarded that fiercely, all be it, hopelessly, because she fell for Streeter and Olivia

I loved this book dealt with a myriad of mental health issues, clearly, without judgment, and without excuse. That it talked about the human condition as a part of everyday life, not something extraordinary or special. I loved that the struggles of survivors isn’t portrayed as overdramatic, or singular, but unique for all involved. There is no quick fix, but there is a way for everyone. I love that Streeter and Bailey found each other, and at the right time, for them to fall in love, and have a richly deserved HEA!
