Books with strong character development are always a treat, and to hear that this author is early in her career makes it quite the achievement! Great review!

I can't imagine the stress Martha went through, giving birth to more than one child all my herself, with neither the support from family nor the man responsible. Worse still, she loses the children due to reckless decisions! That's so scary! I need to know what happens at the end. Thanks for this exciting review.

Pregnant Martha pursues to find Farley, but she has car troubles and has her twins earlier than expected. Her reckless decisions cause her to lose her children. Martha tells a lot of lies along the way and even fooled the reader (reviewer). That makes me very curious to know what lies the readers would believe about Martha. It would be interesting to see how the lives of different people all connected and intertwined with each other in the story.

This book seems to be an interesting journey through the small towns of America. Martha's character seems well-built. Congrats on BOTD!

I never tired reading character-driven books full of twists and turns and a healthy dose of humor as well. Thanks for the enthralling and detailed review.

It sounds like this book will inspire deeper thought and contemplation in readers when considering decision making. The main character(Martha) seems to be driven into situations that cause her to make risky decisions. Not sure this book is my cup of tea, but thanks for the detailed review!

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting novel following several distinct characters as they live, grow and navigate their way along the roads and towns of America. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

It seems to be an interesting book as per your review. I like reading adventures and those filled with humor. I'm adding it to my shelves. From the way you explained the book, you seemed to have enjoyed it a lot. I wish I would be able to write a review which is as good and detailed as yours.

I feel for Martha and the misfortunes that befall her. Losing your kids would be heartbreaking under any circumstances, but trying so very hard to do right by them and losing them anyway? That's tragic. The book isn't really my cup of tea, but I'm certain some will enjoy it immensely. Thanks for the detailed review!

A pregnant woman who met with one misfortune after the other does not really appeal to me. I think I will pass this one on. Thanks!
