In The Second Cup, Sarah Marie Graye does this, not through one voice, but four." - Waggy Tales "Tragically woven into the plot is the intense depiction of life's love lost, divorce, adoption, suicide, bullying, mental illness and disease. Graye takes you into the minds and souls of her characters." - Readers' Favorite "It's really well written making it an emotional page turner. Be warned though it's not an easy read due to the main topics being depression and suicide." - Heidi, Goodreads
