Leaving Before It's Over:A Novel by Jean Reynolds Page

We all make choices in our lives.  For Roy Vines his choice in being with the woman he loved meant giving up his family and all that went with it.  When his wife became ill he needed to go back to his family to ask for help.  From there all the past hurts, lies and misinformation started to come back to the surface.  Those things you just can't shove under a carpet.  The character development was done very well and you could feel for all of the characters.  You could sense those that cared and those that just wanted to come out ahead.  Much growing up occurred for the young and old and you felt all the better for it.  Page did a wonderful job meshing two different lives together and making you feel for both and glad that the good did prevail.(NOOK)
