Tragedy!! It can be devastating, sometimes you wished you were given more time, everyone wants to be prepared but the question remains this; Are we ever prepared for tragedies?

No one wants to be dependent on another human being for the rest of their lives, no one wants to feel like a child at the age of 35. It’s crazy how one incident can change your life forever.

Hello everyone, welcome back to by blog. How is the lock down going? So today i will be reviewing a book that is very dear to me. It’s titled Oceans apart by Karen kingsbury. image gotten from goodreads This book is about love, hurt, denial, betrayal, forgiveness and second chances.

Does the person deserve a second chance? Are we always given second chances? I can’t provide answers to these questions but if you have ever asked yourself any of these questions, then I strongly advice you read this book. It answers all these and lots more....
