Secrets and regrets abound in Barbara Davis’s newest gem.

We meet Mallory, Aiden, Helen, and Estelle - all tied together because of a broken engagement and all with secrets kept from each other.

Mallory is a social worker who had come home because one of her girls was murdered.

Aiden is home because of an accident that ruined his hands and kept him from playing the piano and is so depressed he doesn't even want to compose. His success was over in his mind.

Helen and Estelle are Mallory’s and Aiden’s mothers who never got along.

How will everyone’s life turn out?

EVERY PRECIOUS AND FRAGILE THING will pull you in and pull at your heart strings and have you bonding with the wonderful characters as you rush to the end to see how it all ends.

This book is a heartbreaking, but BEAUTIFUL read that will have you thinking about your life, your decisions, and what you know you should do and should have done long after you turn the last page.

Do not miss Ms. Davis's newest. 5/5
