This is the story of Sara, a housewife and mother. Each and everyday she does the same routine of going to the park and having her child not listen to her. She is bored with her life, feeling empty. In one of her many trips to the park, she comes across a father with a child of his own,Todd. Todd fills the empty void she thinks is gone from her life. The other mothers that she encounters at the park, shows her many characteristics. She is envy of some and others she just can't believe. However, when her and Todd are seen more frequently together, most of the mothers hold their heads up high in disgust. Sara's journey into herself is only beginning.

This book is good for those that feel at times in their life they need change. Sara's bold attempt to go against the norm, shows a risk that some in their life may not be willing to take. It shows a break from mundane life and allows the reader to focus on someone who may have the same problem, to be able to perhaps deal with their own.

How this book enabled the vision for things to be dealt with. There are so many problems that some people have that are never voiced because they are afraid. This book allowed there to be a voice for those people.

When finishing this book, I wanted to be able to reflect on my own life. Did I take the chances I wanted to, or were there risks I should have taken but didn't?

I felt good about myself after reading this book. It allowed me to reflect on my own life. The emotions being able to be set free that may not have been before.

The author of this book took liberties in showing in details a struggle within some women's souls.In showing as much detail as the author did, emotions came out in full force allowing the reader to feel with the character.

I recommend this book for anyone to allow their emotions to open up. Know that someone else, even if it is fiction, can relate to you.
