DNF- Got to 9 % and just did not care for the writing style(too many POV's), the story or the characters. It was just everyday drama, not something I'm interested in. ( )

I downloaded this for free as a Kindle book. I got caught up in it immediately, to the point that I was willing to read it on my small iPhone screen. The story begins when a Presbyterian minister is confronted by a young man with a birth certificate showing her as his mother. She proves to him that this is impossible, since her only child was born just a few months later, and then notices he looks exactly like his father.....her husband. She goes back to her small WV hometown to think things over, and discovers her mother, the town matriarch, is acting strangely and planning to leave her entire estate to the local college. She summons her 2 living sisters to town to help make some decisions. One is a nun, adopted into the family when she was 6 years old. The other is a bicoastal actress.
The story is told from multiple points of view and the plot is full of twists and turns as we learn the truth of the boy's identity, and look into the family's past. It may well be the best 'free' book I've read! Loved it! ( )

After Ellen finds out her husband had a son he never told her about, she goes home to her mother's house. In the attempt to find outt the truth, Ellen and her sisters find out that secrets in their family run deep. A great book. ( )

This book by Alicia Rasley was an interesting and intriguing book for me. Enjoyed reading it. The plot or rather plots were interesting and were not always forseen as you read the book. It is misleading which makes for more fun the the reading. I would read another book by this author.

J. Robert Ewbank author "John Wesley, Natural Man, and the 'Isms'" ( )

This book would have been better written in the style of Mary Higgins Clark. Take the five different viewpoints and weave them together in shorter snippets around the events instead of recovering old ground. However, to give Alicia Rasley credit, each viewpoint does take you closer to the conclusion than the previous one, which creates the plot building effect. The first viewpoint that felt old was Theresa's. It caught my interest at the point where she went in search of her birth family, but it set up a second branch of plot. This would have been better introduced earlier, before the initial storyline, Brian's parentage, was concluded. This made the story somewhat anti-climactic. I also felt like the steamy love scene could have been cleaned up and the strong cuss words omitted. However realistic, they really added nothing to the story ( )
