I wish there had been more emotional development of the characters in order to lend more overall depth to the story. I wanted to like this book more but it was tough reading when the adults were basically large sized children. (  ) buleth | Jul 9, 2020 | ) Maggie.Chavarria | May 22, 2017 | In the Light of the Garden is a gem. Heather Burch has written a beautifully crafted tale of forgiveness and redemption that will stay with me for a long while. As the book opens, 31-year-old Charity Baxter has inherited her grandparents’ home on Gaslamp Island in Florida. As a child, her grandparents provided refuge for Charity from her life with her narcissistic single mom; as she grew older and after her grandmother died, she spent less time on Gaslamp Island. Returning to the island, Charity attempts to straighten out her own life while realizing that she needs to find strength in herself. Meanwhile, as an adult on the island, she realizes that certain family had not been fully shared with her as a child, and she must come to terms with her family history. The characters in this story are fantastic. I would love to live on Gaslamp Island with this crew. Heather Burch created an authentic, believable cast of characters which made for a very entertaining and credible read. I liked the way the story played out as Charity finally matured and chose to live her life as she wanted to versus as her mom and others wanted her to. Thanks to Lake Union for the chance to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review. (  ) cburnett5 | Jan 3, 2017 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"Inheriting her grandparents' island estate on Florida's Gulf coast is a special kind of homecoming for thirty-one-year-old Charity Baxter. Raised by a narcissistic single mother, Charity's only sense of a loving home comes from childhood summers spent with Gramps and Grandma. But piercing her fondest memories is her sharpest grief--the death of her beloved grandmother, when Charity stopped believing in the magical healing power of the weeping willow that still casts a shadow on their property. Now that Charity has returned, she's full of longing and regret, until she befriends her neighbor Dalton Reynolds, who has come to Gaslamp Island carrying his own heartache. As other exiles arrive--a great uncle harboring secrets, a teenage runaway--Charity begins to reconsider what makes a family. When her own estranged mother shows up in crisis, Charity is challenged to search her heart for forgiveness. But forgiving herself may require a little magic from the last place she'd expect to find it."--Back cover. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
