Mistakes of past demons haunt him.<\/p>\n<p>Strangers cross paths every day. Moments are shared with a smile \u2014 the opening of a door, a nod of hello, or help with directions. Most don\u2019t listen to that quiet intuition telling them that something different can be found in this stranger. There is connection and understanding in their eyes. There is truth in their smile. There is an entire life waiting to live. What happens if that intuition isn\u2019t ignored and strangers begin to listen?<\/p>\n<p>It happens every day, someone, somewhere, chooses to listen, and love begins.<\/p>\n<p>This is the story of two strangers who made that choice.<\/p>\n<p>Haunted by the passing of her sister and believing she was the catalyst to cause it, Hannah Anderson lives a walking death. Afraid to embrace life and burdened by guilt, she refuses to accept more than just getting through every day. She believes she doesn&#8217;t deserve happiness.<\/p>\n<p>Consumed by anxieties and self-depreciation from childhood, Wynn Hawthorne shelters himself from the world. Content to live behind his camera and within the quotes that comfort him, he avoids people. He holds himself back from experiences because people always disappoint.<\/p>\n<p>Together they learn that their pasts do not define them and that forgiveness is the hardest thing in the world to accept.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TBR.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6166\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TBR.png?resize=113%2C51\" alt=\"TBR\" width=\"113\" height=\"51\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/23273639-penance\">Goodreads<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Melindas-Review.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6161\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Melindas-Review.png?resize=245%2C50\" alt=\"Melinda's Review\" width=\"245\" height=\"50\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I received a copy of this book for an honest review.<\/p>\n<p>Wynn and Hannah did not have an easy life both have demons they are hanging onto. Hannah refuses to get close to anyone punishing and blaming herself for the past. \u00a0Wynn finds comfort in his art after what he went through as a child. He is not trusting and keeps his distance from others. \u00a0I so wanted them to find happiness.<\/p>\n<p>This was slow for me in the beginning and I had to push through to finish but was well written. I didn\u2019t feel I got enough information to fully connect with Wynn and Hannah but enjoyed their story. There is not much dialogue between the characters (and I am a dialogue person, I love communication) but more or what is going on in Wynn and Hannah\u2019s minds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/about-the-author.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6153\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/about-the-author.png?resize=231%2C55\" alt=\"about the author\" width=\"231\" height=\"55\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"ap-author-image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/716uU3z6ZFL._UX250_.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sarah Buhl\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span id=\"freeTextContainerauthor7264919\">Sarah Buhl.
