Summary
Felicia Lyons, a ­­stressed-out stay-at-home mom, struggles to sprint ahead of the demands of motherhood while her husband spends long days at the office. Felicia taps, utters mantras, and breathes her way through most situations, but on some days, like when the children won’t stop screaming her name or arguing over toy trucks and pretzel sticks, she wonders what it would be like to get in her car and drive away.

Then one evening the telephone rings, and in a split second the harried mother’s innocent fantasy becomes a hellish reality. The call pulls her back into a life she’d rather forget. Felicia hasn’t been completely honest about her upbringing, and her deception forces her return to the Philadelphia of her childhood, where she must confront the family demons and long-buried secrets she thought she had left behind.

From a phenomenal fresh voice in fiction comes the compelling story of what happens when the dream falls apart. It’s the unforgettable tale of love, loss, rediscovery, and the growing pains of marriage.

Although I can't live in yesterday's pain, I can't live without it"...Baby Sadeqa wrote the hell out of this book. She spoke to us mothers, highlighted our fears, our love for our little ones, the social norms, and wanting to belong. Through Felicia, she shows how your grass is always greener on your side. How to enjoy your life. Felicia, a stay-at-home mom of 3 children, while her husband Preston works away at his office. Preston adores Felicia, who he revers as "Foxy". They have the perfect, middle-class life, right? Well, Felicia is hiding something... She has a past that shakes up her life to the core. It sends her back home to Philadelphia, where she must confront it all. The secrets of her past threaten her picture-perfect life and marriage. Sadeqa highlights love, loss, rediscovery, growing pains of marriage, confronting the past, moving on, religion/spirituality, how they "hid" childhood pregnancies in the past, what parents do to protect their children, and putting your trust in others. I'm upset because I wanted more, I need more. What happened to Gran, Felicia and Preston, and the others....ughhhhhh. #Book8of2024 #Bookworm #Whatsnext

I loved this book, it took me awhile to get there but once I did after the first couple of chapters, I was very intent on what happened to her and her family. So glad it ended the way it did. The narration was superb.
