About the book:
How can one
decision cause so much pain? Can it also bring hope?
Mattie was in
love with Billy, but she was too young to wed. When Billy was conscripted to
fight in Vietnam, they made a decision that impacted their lives and their
future. But so much pain resulted that Mattie never really healed. Every turn
Mattie made affected her daughter and her granddaughter in ways she didn’t even
realize. But forty-six years later, is it time for things to be set right?
Navy is a young
woman who has never known her family. But what could be a wonderful opportunity
is met with jealousy and apprehension from her cousin, Brooke, and her aunt
Connie, especially with handsome Aidan around. Each must look past their
struggles and find forgiveness and trust, and perhaps even love.
My review:
This is a
thoughtful look at family relationships.
There is quite a
list of characters to keep track of in this book. The main ones were very well
developed. To some extent certain personality traits seemed to keep showing up
after the initial couple was introduced.
Mattie made a
huge mistake as a young adult. The whole story is about that one mistake and
how her relationship with her father was affected by it. The rest is simply a
cascading effect that comes back around as the complete consequences of that
mistake are explored.
I thoroughly
enjoyed how God was able to use hard times and heartache to bring healing to
many people.
