About the Book: Paige Woodward is a woman without choices. Her destitute mother’s only hope for a cure isn’t covered by insurance. When a dream opportunity arises at a brand–new pharmacy, Paige is willing to keep quiet about her past to make sure she lands the job.
For Clarissa Richardson, the dream of running her own pharmacy comes to a screeching halt when her grandfather hires a too-perfect new girl who seems to be hiding somethig. How far will they go to protect their dreams for tomorrow?
What will happen when one woman’s last hope means ruining another woman’s greatest dream?
My Review: Let me tell you what kind of book this was…I picked it up intending to read just a few pages, and a couple of hours later I was done! It was a real page turner.
Part of what I found so fascinating was the inner working of a pharmacy. Okay, not only fascinating but also frightening. I’ve never read a book in this setting before so it was very interesting. It also heightened the urgency of drama of the situation the characters found themselves in. Admittedly, one character was more likeable than another, but I really appreciated the way Cushman developed the idea that any sin or wrongdoing can harm us, not just the big ones. There are also some great secondary characters.

The pacing was perfect. It moved along at a brisk pace and really engaged my emotions as I felt like Paige was treated unjustly! There was also a little bit of romance and most importantly hope.
