Publisher Description
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 affected 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 realise. But forty-six years later, is it time for things to be set right?
Navy is a young woman who suddenly finds out about 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.
This absorbing family drama, set in South Australia's beautiful McLaren Vale wine region, is written by four of Australia's outstanding Christian fiction authors who have brought you best-selling and award-winning novels.
Customer Reviews
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.
I do want to point out for anyone who lives in the US that this story takes place in Australia and there are many terms and phrases that are different from what we are used to. The story is excellent and well worth taking the extra time to put the effort into understanding them.
I received a free copy of this book through The Book Club Network in exchange for my honest opinion.
