A woman navigates a new life in Guatemala, grappling with questions of self-discovery and societal expectations in Kellems’ intriguing novel. Katherine’s marriage was never ideal, but when her husband Phil sets his sights on missionary work in Guatemala, she is thrust into a world of unforeseen obstacles. As Phil becomes consumed with his missionary work, Katherine finds herself drawn to the alluring and mysterious Alfonso. But beneath his charming facade lies dangerous secrets. Kellems keeps the spotlight on Katherine’s predicament and inner conflict, portraying her with empathy and understanding. Initially depicted as a conflicted character, Katherine’s struggle intensifies as she becomes increasingly drawn to the charismatic Alfonso. From there on, the narrative revolves more closely around Katherine and Alfonso, exploring the complexities of their tumultuous relationship. Katherine’s journey becomes a captivating exploration of desire, duty, and the consequences of choice, as she navigates the turbulent waters of her emotions. The secondary cast is equally compelling. The novel’s deliberate pacing allows readers to immerse themselves in the quiet introspection of its characters. Sincere and deeply absorbing, the novel beautifully delves into the repercussions of choices made in pursuit of personal happiness, emphasizing how these decisions impact not only a person’s life but also their loved ones. Raw and authentic.
