What it means to be a mother, what it takes to save a life.
Lucy never confessed her love to her best friend, Harlan, before he passed away. Two months after his funeral, she is haunted by the power of things left unsaid. But then she receives the first of his e-mails arranged to be sent after his death. So begins the year that everything changes—Lucy’s watershed year.
In an e-mail, Harlan says something that consumes her: he’s certain Lucy is destined for motherhood. In her grief, she suddenly rediscovers hope, journeying to Russia to adopt a four-year-old boy. When she meets her son, Mat, for the first time, she realizes he’s also mending a wounded heart and is just as lost as she is. Together, they learn to trust, each helping the other to heal.
But just as they’re welcoming their new normal, Mat’s father comes to America to reclaim his son and reveals the truth about Mat’s past that might shatter Lucy’s fragile little family forever.
Susan Schoenberger’s breathtaking and powerful story of love, loss, redemption, and what it means to be a mother will leave you in awe as Lucy, in the depths of her greatest despair, somehow finds her greatest joy and embraces the beauty of second chances.
Lucy suffers a loss and in her self effacing way carries us with her in her year of enlightenment that follows. New and old relationships are tested and some salvaged. Some not. Love offered, love rejected, love discovered. The story, which takes us to Russia and back, is warm and suspenseful.
From the moment you begin "A Watershed Year", you will be captured by the beautiful way in which the author draws you into her character's life, her strength and bravery of being a little different and offbeat, yet desiring a family and especially a child and the lengths she will go in order to achieve these goals. The reader will adore her quirky family. I highly recommend this book.
