ANDERSON, BRENDA S.
MEMORY BOX SECRETS
Newlyweds Richard and Sheila Brooks have it all. Sheila is pregnant. Richard’s business is flourishing. Their formerly broken lives have been mended, and life couldn’t be better. Or so they thought. Just a few years ago, Richard had thrived in Manhattan’s fast-paced business world, yet that’s the very place he abandoned his faith. Now that his faith is restored, he never planned to return to that old life. But then the New York corporation that once rejected him calls, begging him to come back. Richard knows returning is unwise, but his gut is telling him to go. Sheila yearns to have something from her childhood to pass on to her child, but when her parents abandoned her years ago, they took all remnants of her past with them. Then, out of the blue, her aging father calls, asking to be let back into her life. Her head screams “no”, but her traitorous heart is saying “yes.” If Richard and Sheila answer these calls from their pasts, will they risk breaking what they’ve spent so much time mending?
My Review:
My. Heart. Hurts. Five tissue box alert! This sequel to Chains of Mercy packs an emotional wallop that will leave you reeling. And to 'enjoy' the full impact I suggest you read the books in order.
Anderson has a knack for digging deep into the lives of her characters as she challenges them with impossible scenarios that will either make or break them. This author takes the sage writing advice, 'be mean to your characters' to heart! Perhaps too much so. LOL
Told in multiple points of view, the reader follows various story threads on a thought-provoking journey of grace and sacrifice. Anderson delivers a tale rife with brutal honesty and heart wrenching decisions. Luckily I trust the author or I might just have stopped reading. Memory Box Secrets is real and gutsy and ultimately brimming in hope. A stunning continuation to Richard and Sheila's inspiring story.
