5 stars
A second
chance at life, history repeating itself, and the sacrifices made for ones
you love. Prue goes through a lot, has been through a lot in life. Going home
shows her she did once have hope, a plan, and unconditional love. As she discovers
herself again, the changes in her life that have shaped her, and the love
that has always surrounded her, she is breathtaking in her discoveries. Her
daughter Daisy, so much like her in every way. Her father, a steadfast,
stalwart, loving presence in her life. Carol, the woman she blamed for
ruining her life. Prue discovers all is not as it seemed, and the truth opens
old wounds, but heals more than it hurts. Getting to know her mother only
confuses her, and opens the doors, lifts the blinds, and makes her see what
was always right there.
Punishing
yourself for you sins, trying to make up for bad life choices, and showing
your love the only way you know how. The adults in Prue’s life loved her more
than she ever realized, and when she accepts that love, she sees where she
wants and needs her life to go, and sets her chart. The paths that take her
there aren’t without pitfalls, and she made a few, but learns to accept that
as well. And even when it all seems so settled, that last chapter, oh that
last chapter, solidified that Prue was so loved and protected, even those who
thought they knew it all, didn’t know
The story telling
weighs heavy in the air, like the Louisiana heat it describes. The
ominousness is always right there, you know there is something hidden. Bit by
bit the fog clears, and the tears I cried while reading it a deluge of rain
that cleared it away. It left me broken and whole, overwhelmed by emotions,
and it left me with a new best friend, Prue.
