It is about a woman Eustacia who at 35 years of age has only loved three men in her entire life: Ben, her high school sweetheart, Marcus, her brother and a man who never really showed her love, also known as Wilson, her vicious, spiteful, hateful father. He has a new family, his wife Caro and their 16-year old daughter Willow. Wilson has nothing to do with his "past" family and you're itching to find out why. Wilson asks Eustacia, otherwise known as Taisy) to come visit him after he suffered a heart attack because he has a proposition for her. I don't want to give more away but you come to find why Wilson is still nasty to Taisy and what happened when she up and left Ben, the one she loved with all her heart.
This was the first book I read by Marisa de los Santos and her writing really made me envision each character perfectly. I felt like I was in the story next to Taisy, Wilson, Willow, Caro, her mother and Marcus. I felt the pain of Taisy trying to win the affection and loved she so desperately wanted from Wilson. I'm lucky to have a father who loves me in my life but I always feel for those who don't see or speak to their biological fathers who aren't in their lives due to whatever reasons that may have occurred. I would highly recommend this to anyone who loves a little conflict, a little mystery and some bits of romance.
