Praise For...

  • A heart-wrenching tale of loss, loyalty, and the will to overcome....Weinstein explores the difficult facets of grief that are often too painful to recognize, the solipsism of mourning, the selfishness of regret, and the guilt of moving on....Ultimately, this novel full of mourning has a large, aching heart full of sympathy and potential, and will keep the reader listening for signs of restored life.

    Kirkus Review

  • 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.

  • Each word of What We Leave Behind invokes raw emotion as we are brought deeper into the soul of a woman that can be any of us. This moving story will echo strongly with any woman who has had to face love and loss, life and death, and everything in between

  • A genre of what I’d call ‘chick lit but not’, because this had so much depth and heart. Filled with heartache, first loves, lost loves, motherhood, marriage, pining, obligations and wonder; this book offered something for all women who enjoy a good read with a heaping dose of romance. Weinstein has a knack for creating realistic scenes, likeable characters, good plot twists and a nicely drawn out ending. Four Stars.

    The Good Book Fairy

  • 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] summer reading must.

    Aventura Magazine

  • 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
