Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was by far the most interesting book in the trilogy. It was tragic and heartbreaking, but also heart warming and beautiful.
This book is dedicated to the love story (kind of) of Mary Anne and David Parkin. However, I disagree with how this was presented. I don't think it's about their love story because it doesn't show or discuss how they got together and their grand love affair, this was mentioned in a different book in the trilogy. However, I think it should have said "Mary Anne and David Parkin's Story about how Love Never Fails"
Since this book is about Mary Anne leaving David due to him sheltering his heart due to a tragic accident that happened with their daughter. David knows that he deserved this, but he didn't deserve the two other women who left him; his daughter and his mother.
There is nothing that can be done about Andrea, David's daughter, who was tragically taken away from him too soon. But he knows his mother is in Chicago and now that he is without Mary Anne, he goes in search to close off loose ends. What he finds is unexpected to him and us as the reader. But what was even more shocking was the ending.
The ending seemed fast, but was a definitive way to close the trilogy. I respect the choice made by the author to show the racial injustice of Lawrence and how David did what he had to do to honor and protect his friend.
It brings everything full circle in this trilogy and I'm glad that I found the first book in a Half Priced Books a few years ago.
