In this compelling and poignant debut novel, a woman skilled at caring for animals must learn to mend the broken relationships in her family.… For veterinarian Geneva Novak, animals can be easier to understand than people. They’re also easier to forgive. But when her mother, Helen, is injured in a vodka-fueled accident, it’s up to Geneva to give her the care she needs. Since her teens, Geneva has kept her self-destructive mother at arm’s length. Now, with two slippery teenagers of her own at home, the last thing she wants is to add Helen to the mix. But Geneva’s husband convinces her that letting Helen live with them could be her golden chance to repair their relationship. Geneva isn’t expecting her mother to change anytime soon, but she may finally get answers to the questions she’s been asking for so long. As the truth about her family unfolds, however, Geneva may find secrets too painful to bear and too terrible to forgive. CONVERSATION GUIDE INCLUDED

"**NOTE: This is a book that I won through a Goodreads giveaway**<br/><br/>I really really liked this book! It continued to surprise me throughout with different plot twists. I also enjoyed that the story was told from three different perspectives. All three perspectives were very detailed and the characters were well developed! Each character not only was involved in the bigger issues of the story, but, seemed to have their own inner issues and growth as well. It was great to them grow as a family, even with a semi-sad ending. <br/><br/>For this being Sonja's first novel, it sure does not seem like it! I can't wait to encourage my friends to read this book."
