Afraid to Let Grow is the second in the Marriage Survivors Club series, but it can easily be read as a standalone novel without having read the prequel (In the Beginning) or the first in the series (Do Over Daughter). The series involves the intertwined stories of a group of never-married or divorced woman as they navigate life and children and possible second-chance romances.
In Afraid to Let Grow, the protagonist, Olivia Maxwell, has allowed her fears to govern her life to the extent that she won’t risk anything and is sheltering her college-age son and her Down syndrome daughter excessively. With the help of friends, family, and a new love, she learns to let go of her at-times irrational fears and grow as a woman and mother. The series is nice, inspiring women’s fiction read with lovely characters, though a bit slow-paced at times.
