Why does Faith find herself on an Italian beach, injured and with no memories of the last ten years? Those years include falling in love with her husband and the three children they share. Now she is expected to go back to a life she does not remember with a man who does not seem to love her. What drove her to another country and why does she feel so out of place in the life that everyone tells her is hers?
The faith we meet is vulnerable and lost. We see her trying to acclimate to a live she never remembers. Will seems off and also a bit lost. What happened between them? But is this their second chance? But will getting her memory back change things? Beautiful, Fragile by Michelle Montebello was an emotional story that captivated me from start to finish.
