Balancing Act by Emily March
I loved Balancing Act by Emily March, book
two in her Lake in the Clouds series; a story that was heartwarming, emotional, and beautifully weaves the story of Genevieve Prentice and her daughter
Willow Eldridge. Set in the picturesque Lake in the Clouds, the story explores
the complications and difficulties within family relationships and the
challenges of rediscovering love after loss.
Willow, a newly widowed mom with two young
children, has followed her Mom to Colorado, ready to swallow her pride and come
clean about her life in Nashville. The guilt she feels about her broken
relationship with Genevieve is only one layer of the trauma she's struggling
with. While there she meets a reclusive neighbor, Noah Tannehill, an irresistible
man fighting demons of his own. He is recovering from injuries sustained as a
firefighter; some are psychological and/or PTSD. Maybe this sweet town can provide the answers and healing she, her family,
and Noah needs; and maybe throw in hope and harmony along the way.
Genevieve and Helen continue navigating the second half of their lives,
exploring who they are and what makes them tick. Genevieve struggles with trying
to do it all, and not doing it well at all; something many can relate to. She
tries to hold on to her new and improved independence while balancing her need
to be the mom and grandmother that Willow and her children need, while also
being independent as she explores her own life; finding a passion that will
fill her well.
Ms. March wrote an amazing story with interesting characters and a sweet
romance. It's easy to identify with the topic of PTSD and grief in this story,
provoking thoughtfulness and soothing readers who might need comfort in their
lives. I
highly recommend Balancing
Act to
other readers and look forward to the next
book in this series.
I voluntarily reviewed
a complimentary copy of this book.
