Trying something different
I have always loved to read and lately I have been trying new authors. These authors have multiple books to their credit, so it really isn’t fair to say they are new authors. I guess I should say they are less known authors and as a author I know how hard it is to get “known”. Maybe you would like to join me on this journey in reading I have embarked upon.
An author worth sharing
Karen Lenfestey has several books to her credit and I like that she gave me a topic that got my attention. There are so many children in broken homes and this book gives you two perspectives. Karen writes about two sisters, separated by an automobile accident and tossed in two directions.
What is best for the child
A Mother’s Conviction takes you on a journey as you follow the lives of two sisters with different fathers. When Gola Moon crashes her car while driving drunk, someone ends up dead. Gola awakens from a coma to find herself facing a prison sentence and her daughters gone.
Willow, the youngest, is hurt in the car accident and ends up in the foster care system. Bethany gave up her daughter when she was seventeen because she could not give her a good home. When Willow comes to her as a foster child, Beth gets a second chance to become a mother.
Skye, the eldest, is taken from the hospital by her father who did not clear it with the authorities. His ex-wife is in a coma so she can’t take care of the girl, and if she lives she will be going to prison. Conner never feels comfortable in one place until his grandfather dies and he goes home to take care of the estate. He has been on the move, always changing jobs and names, so no one will take his daughter from him.
Gola is going to be released from prison and wants her daughters back. A less then perfect mother, a foster mother and a father vie for the custody of two beautiful girls, but what is best for the children? This is a great story about love with all it’s imperfections and about the effect adults have on the children in our lives. Don’t miss this one!
Happy reading, Linda
