First time reading this author. I believe it is an Amazon First Read. Started on 5/30/2023. So far chapters seem short. Don’t know about characters yet. 6/12/2023 and I finished the book today. For me it was just OK. I’ll give it a 6/10. The story seemed to stretch a bit when the author added a hurricane to the mix. Laurie, the main character and her husband David lost their baby to a still birth. David’s father was in prison for 16 years for a crime he actually didn’t commit. Frank (David’s father) comes back to Galveston and remembers he had a girlfriend in high school who was sick with a non curable disease. Things get lost in to many characters and to many different story lines going at once. 14 days to finish
