Good Together is a poignant story that bring tears to your eyes as Mattie tries to make sense of what was happening while also being forced to pick up the pieces of her life because she can lost her home sooner than expected.

Even in her naiveté, Mattie proves to be a strong woman. She also finds a friend with her neighbor Nat Diamond who was also facing challenges unbeknownst to Mattie.

Heart wrenching and a tearjerker, Good Together by C.J. Carmichael relates how a woman can face adversity and win.

Good Together is Rated M for Mature due to subject matter. There is one very mild sex scene in the book.

DESCRIPTION

Some love stories have to begin with a falling-out-of-love story…

Mattie Carrigan’s been helping her rodeo cowboy husband Wes Bishop run his family’s Tennessee Walking Horse operation since they were married nineteen years ago. Blessed with twin daughters who’ve recently left for college, Mattie is looking forward to this new stage in her and Wes’s life.

But when she finds a strange key in her husband’s jacket, she’s forced to admit that Wes has been quiet and distant lately. Turns out he has been keeping secrets. And he’s not the only one. Even the rancher next door, Nat Diamond–a friend Mattie could always count on in the past–seems to be holding something back from her.

Good Together is for anyone who has ever pondered what it means to be married. Or had to reinvent her life when one breaks down. It’s about having your heart broken but being strong enough to survive and love again.
