Acts of Atonement was so much more than just an age gap romance for me.

It was about growth and self-acceptance.

Knowing that it’s okay to put yourself first sometimes and that saying NO when you’ve had enough, is not only good but necessary for your sanity.

As mothers, wives, sisters, or life partners we tend to take on so much of the work and worry ourselves.

It’s my sincerest hope that I was able to convey even a portion of this message through AOA. Because books are not only stories but balm for our soul.
