A Daughter's Truth

GIVEAWAY
BRADFORD, LAURA
A DAUGHTER'S TRUTH

Born on the day Mamm lost her beloved sister, Emma Lapp knows she's a reminder of her mother's greatest sorrow. The one bright spot has been the odd trinkets left at her aunt's grave each year on Emma's birthday -- gifts Emma hides because they upset her parents. But on the day she turns twenty-two, a locket bears a surprise that sends her on an unexpected journey. Emma travels to the English world and finds a kinship as intriguing as it is forbidden. Is this newfound connection enough to leave behind the future she'd expected? The answers are as mysterious, and as devastating, as the truth that divides Emma from the only family, and the only life, she's ever known.

My Review:

Wow...just...wow! I've only read Laura Bradford's cozy mysteries so this Amish Women's Fiction with a touch of romance was a reading adventure for me. Totally gripping! I devoured it in an afternoon. Just couldn't put it down! I don't want to say much about the plot so as to avoid spoilers but it was an emotional edge-of-your-seat read for me!

Emma is so overwhelmed and confused and lost and I felt those exact same emotions right along with her. I had a lump in my throat and knots in my stomach the whole read. I just couldn't see how this gnarly mess of heartache and loss could ever be made right. Luckily, I wasn't writing Emma's story and Bradford weaves her magic with spectacular brilliance!

    3. Totally unusual for my library to actually display Christian Fiction books but they've been doing it a lot lately. :-)

    4. We have an entire section of Christian fiction. But it's hard for me to browse books bc of the probs I have with vertigo. I'm thrilled we have a new Christian bookstore, but have yet to visit it. :-( I'm glad your library is beginning to feature more CF!

    1. I'm still a romantic at heart but women's fiction with a touch of romance definitely works for me too. Good luck, Terrill!

    2. Don't be mistaken, it has to be women's fiction/romance. I just like to pretend that I've grown up and that it's not truly "romance", per se. 😂😂😂
