(More customer reviews)Two novellas that are packed full of inspiration and romance. This book was a breath of fresh air. Three sisters were all given up to the foster care system when their parents were killed in a car accident and were split up and never saw each other again. One sister passed away but the other two finally get a chance to meet and that's when they find out their sister Dawn left behind a son and a daughter and they are both determined to meet their new found niece and nephew.
In A Dry Creek Family, Maegan goes in search of her niece Lilly to find out if she is being well cared for and she spends time getting to know her and the uncle that is taking care of her. Janet has a talent with the details, there were a lot of side conversations going on and she painted a vivid picture of the scenes. The characters were both haunted by their pasts and insecurities and I thoroughly enjoyed that there was no fighting within this book between the characters.
In A Mother for Mule Hollow, Maegan's sister Olivia finally gets invited to meet her nephew Wes so she packs up her daughter Trudy and heads out to meet Wes, his father Gabe and the grandmother Geogetta. Gabe is not pleased with meeting his ex-wife's sister but realizes he doesn't have much of choice in her getting to know his son Wes. I really enjoyed this story a lot! I felt Debra Clopton just had the reader jump right in to the story from page one. I knew within the first pages I was going to enjoy this novella. The characters were so realistic and well-rounded! I enjoyed the way Gabe was protecting his son and his heart! I enjoyed this story a bit more than the other one and I think it is because I like less details and more character interaction!
There are a lot of spiritual threads in this book, I felt there was more preaching going in A Dry Creek Family but it was still good. I truly believe God is in the restoration business and this is evident in this sweet story of restoring broken families and situations! Very inspirational read that I highly recommend.
I received a copy of this book to read and review from the author. My review is not biased by the fact that I was given this book. I HONESTLY read and review any book whether bought or given to me. If I did not like the book I would definitely not give a rave review or recommend it.
