Or is it possible that someone threw her over with intentions for her to die. Did she jump on her own? Did she just slip and fall? After all it is winter and has been icy. The cop working her case seems to think she might have even jumped. After waking in the hospital, she cannot remember why she was on the bridge or if she was alone. Shane rescues her from the icy water beneath the bridge. One night she survives a fall from a bridge. In this story we meet Willow and her cop next door neighbor, Shane. And I think Kathy does a simply gorgeous job of showing how even in darkness, hope survives.Īnother fantastic book from Kathy Lockheart. Kathy does provide trigger warnings, and I would say read at your own discretion, but consider reading anyway for as I said, it is cathartic. Reading Willow’s story is so cathartic, especially if you can relate to the struggles and jaggedness of broken families and relationships. Shane is a guy we understand, who says what some of us desperately want to hear and need to hear. This is a girl that anyone can relate to. She is a victim, but doesn’t let it villainize her. I once heard someone say that “gentleness is power under control” - we want those kinds of women to inspire us in stories. We all want those heroines who aren’t Mary Janes but who do get a happily ever after, but it’s not always so beautifully crafted. Kathy has a way of putting words to grief and trauma and healing and growth that are simply so powerful. I’ve read all the others in this series, and they’ve all blown me away, but this one really struck a chord with me. Just trust me and go read this! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. There's so many things I want to say but I don't want to spoil it for anyone. And let me just say, his whole story just blew me away. He literally does not give up on her, even if he has other reservations. The way Shane glues himself to Willow after pulling her from the river. Where do I even start? You can feel their connection from the very start. Now, Shane is committed to finding who did this.~ Luckily her neighbor (who happens to be a detective) was in the right place at the right time. ~Willow had a normal life until someone pushed her off a bridge.
She has this way of bringing light to sensitive topics but doing it in a way that has you really thinking. The emotions you feel for every single one her characters is so raw and real, you can't help but be invested from beginning to end. The way Kathy Lockheart tells stories has me in an absolute chokehold! I'm not even talking about the romance.
