Bittersweet Struggles is an amazing
book about a women returning home for her mother’s funeral and comes face to
face with love, betrayal, resentment and forgiveness. It is a book that gives the reader a key to
unlock the door and catch a glimpse in to a family’s home that reveals secrets
and unresolved issues. The book is so
genuine that it grabs the reader’s attention and the reader can’t let go. A heartwarming book any reader can I identify
with because there is always somewhere or someone, we leave a piece of our
heart with, that we call home.
