From the very beginning
of the book, the author manages to hook us on. We are introduced to Meg and her
adoptive father in the first chapter. That is also when we are introduced to an
anonymous person, someone Meg has never met, who hires Meg to execute his will.
Sound simple enough?
But that is not all. There are many stratums to this plot that are slowly
unveiled to the readers. There is enough ‘family drama’, personal struggles and
intrigue to keep you interested throughout the novel. Also, there are a number
of characters, all well developed. Some I loved to love and some not so much.
This story is
all about how a single decision can set things into motion and have unimaginable
effects. The author’s suave writing style, surprise elements in the plot and
beautiful settings have managed to steal my heart this time. This being her
debut novel, she sure has a great future ahead!
About the Author:
Jennifer
Fromke is a lover of books, mother of three and wife to one extraordinary man.
When separated from her laptop, you may find her teaching Bible study, cooking
or (most often) sneaking off someplace with a good book in one hand and a
vanilla latte in the other.
Jennifer is a
member of ACFW and the Carolina Christian Writers. She attended Blue Ridge Mountain
Christian Writers Conference in 08 and 09 as well as the Master’s Seminar in
2010. She participates in an online critique group of other women’s fiction
writers. They call themselves the “Yay-sayers.”
A BA in
Literature from Wheaton College shares a decent part of the blame when it comes
to ascertaining how Jennifer turned out this way – addicted to reading, writing
and all things literary.
Her first
novel, A Familiar Shore (formerly Docking) won the 2010 ACFW Genesis
competition in the Women’s Fiction category.
