My Thoughts:
The mystery that this book starts out with is super intriguing. it definitely kept me interested. halfway through i'm still unsure of some things but always keeping you guessing is what makes a great novel in my opinion. i got a chance to read another novel from Cynthia and that one i finished in a day. i haven't had the time to finish this one but being halfway makes me want to just sit and finish all the way. its so good!

Edit: this book was so good but the ending quite frankly left me wanting more and more. i felt like it wasn't finished and i've been sorta irritated about it all day since finishing in the morning. i guess you could say the ending left me with more questions than i even had before and it was way too abrupt.


About the book:
As Waters Gone By (Abingdon, May 2015)

How can a marriage survive when separated by hundreds of miles and impenetrable prison walls?

Emmalyn and Max Ross may have to endure the fight of their lives to mend the tattered fabric of their marriage. His actions ensured she could never be a mother and put him in prison, giving their relationship a court-mandated five-year time-out. On a self-imposed exile to beautiful but remote Madeline Island, one of the Apostle Islands of Lake Superior, Emmalyn has just a few months left to figure out if and how they can ever be a couple again.

Nudged along by the exuberant owner of the Wild Iris Inn and Café, a circle of misfit people in their small town, and a young girl who desperately needs someone to love her, Emmalyn restores an island cottage that could become a home and begins to restore her heart by learning what it means to love unconditionally. Yet even as hope begins to find a place within the cottage walls, Emmalyn still wonders if she's ready for Max's release. She may be able to rebuild a cottage, but can she rebuild a marriage?
