I love all of Tracie's books but this one is one of my favorites. Her character's are all so real that you feel like you are part of the book. Your heart will break for the girls in this book. Their whole life has been wrapped around keeping secrets that they thought would tear their world apart if shared. Instead their life has been torn apart because they kept these secrets. Bailee has always felt that she had to protect and care for her sisters. In doing so she has put up walls around herself that no one can enter. She has also put her life aside to make sure her sisters were cared for and happy. Mark keeps tearing Bailee's walls down brick by brick until he finds a way in. Then she doesn't know what to do with the feelings that she is having for him. In the end all of the secrets are finally let out and the healing can begin. Bailee finally realizes that it is not her place to care for her sisters. She needs to care for herself and find someone to help her do so. This is when she realizes she can't do it with out the help of The Lord.
