Emily Morris got her
happily-ever-after earlier than most. Married at a young age to a man
she loved passionately, she was building the life she always wanted. But
when enormous stress threatened her marriage, Emily made some rash
decisions. That’s when she fell in love with someone else. That’s when
she got pregnant.Resolved to tell her husband of the affair and to leave him for the father of her child, Emily’s plans are thwarted when the world is suddenly split open on 9/11. It’s amid terrible tragedy that she finds her freedom, as she leaves New York City to start a new life. It’s not easy, but Emily---now Connie Prynne—forges a new happily-ever-after in California. But when a life-threatening diagnosis upends her life, she is forced to rethink her life for the good of her thirteen-year-old daughter.
A riveting debut in which a woman must confront her own past in
order to secure the future of her daughter, Kim Hooper's People
Who Knew Me asks: “What would you do?”
This book was fascinating! In part because I completely understood why she did what she did and then I was totally clueless as to why she did it. I would get so frustrated with her at times, but still felt sympathy for other times. It truly was a study of how much a person can take before they break and to what lengths they will go to survive. While I personally would not have handled it like she did, I was intrigued by her decisions none the less. If you enjoy a character driven story with a marriage/family focused plot that reads quickly, this is a great book to pick up starting on May 24th, 2016!
