WHEN WE LET GO by Rochelle B. Weinstein - Review & Giveaway

 


Rochelle B. Weinstein's sixth novel, WHEN WE LET GO (LakeUnion) has been published. Rochelle once again focuses on family, second chances, love, forgiveness and discovering the truths that set us free.

Avery Beckett receives a marriage proposal from her boyfriend, Jude Masters. She's unable to say yes because of a secret tragedy that she believes makes her a bad person. Avery doesn't think she's good enough for Jude and his kids. Jude is crushed and angry.

Avery leaves Miami for her childhood farm in North Carolina hoping to reconcile with her past. Unknowing to Avery, Jude's teenage daughter, Elle has invited herself to the farm and is hidden in the back seat. Elle is dealing with her mother's death. After discussing the situation with Jude, they make a plan for Elle to go to the farm. The two form an unique relationship and help one another heal. 

This is a beautiful book about second chances and letting life happen. Many of us get in the way of our lives and mess it up. Going with the flow is really the way to go. I'm already looking forward to Rochelle's seventh novel, which I know she's hard at work writing.



ROCHELLE'S WORDS:


A little about me. I was born and raised in Miami, Florida among the chaos of three older siblings. After graduating college, I moved west to Los Angeles where I launched my career at the LA Weekly, running advertising and promotions for film studios and record labels.

After a few colorful years, I returned to Miami, landing my first dream job through an ad in The Miami Herald. Yes, an actual newspaper. For the next ten years, I managed the advertising, marketing, and promotions for every record label in the country at The Box Music Network. Our offices on South Beach were the hub for musicians and record executives worldwide. Work consisted of meeting talented superstars and listening to great music. Fun, right?

Marriage and kids soon followed in the form of dream job number two, and The Box eventually moved to New York. Sometime in between raising the twins, PTA meetings, carpool, flag football, basketball, and lacrosse tournaments, writing freelance, cheering on the Dolphins and Heat, and volunteering at organizations near and dear to my heart, dream job number three took root, and I became a full-time author.

Life has a funny way of happening this way. Doors open and close. Avenues await. One path leads to another. I thought life was fun before, but nothing is more fun than this.

    A friend told me her sister was pregnant, but she didn't tell me it was a secret. I congratulated her sister's brother-in-law. He didn't know. Her sister was so mad at me, and it caused a rift in the friendship with my friend.

      The sister's brother-in-law did not hold it against me. He was the most gracious of all.
