⭐️4 Stars⭐️
Another Life is a beautifully written story featuring a loving family and the longing for a child, it’s full of soul, I loved reading this story! Kristin Hannah is one of my favourite storytellers.

Angie Malone is from a loving Italian family that run a small restaurant. When Angie’s marriage fails she returns home to her family with a mission to help save the family business.

Lauren Ribido is a senior in high school, she also works part time and lives with her deadbeat mother who spends more time in bars than going out to work. Lauren is an exceptional student with high grades and wants to get a scholarship to college, her boyfriend David is from a rich family but Lauren doesn’t take any handouts.

Angie and Lauren meet and from this encounter evolves a beautiful and caring relationship.

This was a strong and touching family drama incorporating kindness, loss and joy from a master storyteller! I just loved the setting of the family’s Italian restaurant, the food and the family banter. The characters were absolutely charming.

This book has also been published previously under the title The Things We Do For Love.
