Catherine West is an unhappy woman. She grew
up extremely wealthy and privileged but is well aware that her cold calculating mother has
left her heart cracked in a million pieces. At forty three years old Catherine
has experienced two failed engagements, the loss of her beloved father and is
currently watching her mother slide downhill fast with recently diagnosed
Alzheimer’s Disease. Living in NYC her entire life, in the lap of luxury
Catherine blows her monthly trust stipend in ways most people cannot begin to imagine.
But these purchases only fill her void temporarily. Loneliness fills her days
and keeps her awake at night until the moment she unexpectedly meets tall,
handsome William Stockton. Their whirlwind romance is everything she has ever
dreamed and they quickly are engaged to be married. Slowly the trickle of
uncertainty drips through their relationship. A photograph. A comment. A long
lost journal. Something is not right and although Catherine would be happy to
live in denial, these mounting clues leave her constantly miserable and worried.
With or without money she knows she will never feel truly loved and safe until
she discovers the truth. Fabulous debut novel by author Swan Huntley. The
characters come alive and there were just enough twists and turns to keep me hooked.
Smooth, descriptive writing, I highly recommend this captivating read and peek
into another world where it is quite clear that money cannot buy happiness.
