Greenwood is a writer of subtle strength. . .finding light in the darkest of stories. -- Publishers Weekly on Two Rivers In 1960, Billie Valentine is a young housewife living in a sleepy Massachusetts suburb, treading water in a dull marriage and caring for two adopted daughters.

Very deep, honest and startling dealing of 1960s married life

This was not what I expected, thinking just a fluffy interesting story of two families, it goes so far beyond to some extremely enlightening facts of how husbands believed and got away with how they abused their wives and the children who lived with that behavior. I lived in early 70s with such a husband as Ted and can attest to this mind-set of men. The love story was totally unexpected and so haunting and heart rendering. I've read 3 of Greenwood's book so far and will eventually I'm sure read all of them. Each story so very different and intriguing. Solid reads!

I wanted to start the book over and read it again as soon as I finished. Incredible.

I am still in awe over this book. I was so filled with emotion the entire time. Happy, sadness, rage, and everything else between. I cannot even explain how vividly this book captured interactions between people and the emotions they were feeling. I have never plowed through cardio at the gym like i did when i read this. Wow. I cannot believe the impact this book has. I’m speechless. I want to immediately start the book over and read it again.

The best book I have ever read.
