This is what some would call an "imperfect love story." In the previous book of this series called, Sweet Family of War, Stef and Lena ended their very toxic marriage which was not only affecting them but their four childen whom they both desperately love and adore. This story follows the Adams/Foster households as well as the Browns and tells of a time in their lives where they learn to heal, grow, mature and make better decisions. Not all decisions will be perfect but lessons will be learned and love will be found. Thank you for reading book 8 in the "Sweet Love of War" book series.

It's 1986, and the Adams Foster family continues to face their demons head on. Young Jude has now been living with the family for a couple of months, but they still have hurdles they need to face together including how he can be adopted and how they can get him to talk. Lena and Stef still are working on their marriage while Frankie works on the deep anger she has faced for most of her life. Both Callie and Stefanie are nearing the end of their high school years, and Corey is coming to terms on what it means to grow up in a house full of women and his little brother.

This story picks up in the summer of 1984 after the death of Stef Foster's older brother, Frank, Jr. Callie, having experienced her mother's panic attacks from an early age, asked Lena to stay because she thinks her mom is having a breakdown from the sadness of everything that's happened over the past year. Lena has a choice to make: leave everything behind and start a new life with her girlfriend in NYC or let Stef go once and for all. Will these two families finally come together and grow strong? Or are they destined to remain friends living on opposite sides of the country?

Stef and Lena finally buried the hatchet back in 1979, after the death of Lena's ex husband, Will, who had become close friends with Stef, and through that death, they realized that life is too short to remain at odds.

Will these, two, ever again fall in love? Or will they just remain the best of friends with memories of the fall of 1969?

One thing remains to be answered: Will Stef and Lena admit their feelings for one another, or will it remain unspoken?
