From the moment I turned the page, I was immediately drawn into Jessie’s world. The story was intricately woven with the lives of Jessie, Jonas and Marty. What We Leave Behind is a simple yet such a poignant tale of life, love, the choices we make and the result of those choices.

A can’t-look-away, can’t-stop-reading story of truth, consequences, love, betrayal, family, and loyalty. Somebody’s Daughter is a must-read examination of mistakes that can so easily be made and the destruction and beauty that follow in their wake. Bravo, Rochelle Weinstein, for this timely, evocative read.

I'm writing this through tears. I wouldn't have thought a book that addresses such difficult subjects could also be so beautiful.
Touching and challenging, SOMEBODY'S DAUGHTER is a close-up look at a family that is magazine-cover-perfect on the outside but struggling with the fallout of one mistake that threatens to dismantle everything they've worked to build. With trust, love, and support hanging in the balance, they must each make a difficult choice. And the consequences will either break them apart or make them stronger than ever

Timely and timeless in its deft exploration of a family in crisis, SOMEBODY'S DAUGHTER pulls you in to the story and makes you think at the same time. Guaranteed to create thought-provoking book club discussions!

Gripping and poignant, Somebody’s Daughter is that novel that you can’t stop reading, and then can’t stop thinking about afterwards. With vivid characters and an all too real storyline, the novel looks unflinchingly at the world of cyber sexual harassment and the devastating consequences that a few moments of stupidity can have for a teenager. The novel forces us to examine our own judgements, and to look to empathy as we navigate our children through this harsh new world. A must read for any parent. I loved this book.

It would be easy to say ‘read this book if you or someone you know is clinically depressed,’ but that would be shortchanging both Weinstein and her work. I say: read this book if you love a compelling, deeply human story.

Weinstein hooked me with her first novel, and The Mourning After has made me a fan for life. She has that rare ability to hook you from chapter one, keep you turning the pages, and then continue to think about the characters long after you have put the book down. It takes an exceptionally talented writer to weave a real but little-known disease like GSD into a novel, and yet use it in a way that only advances the story and enhances her characters.

Compelling...What We Leave Behind's twists and turns generate real tension, and Weinstein renders Jessica's feelings with enough complexity that her ultimate decision carries emotional weight...[Weinstein] tells a good love story.
Kirkus Review
-
A compelling story about young love, betrayal, miscommunication, and most importantly - mental illness. The honest and open way in which this novel explores depression is refreshing....engrossing, thought-provoking...unputdownable read. I would happily recommend Where We Fall to fans of women's fiction.
