My Review:
Laura Evans has been away from her father for many years, and when she returns home he is a different man that what she remembered. Driven by personal gain and bitterness, Granite Evans crosses the line legally and morally in order to achieve his goals. I was extremely happy that Laura found Godly friends who gave her wisdom and support when she needed it most when realizing her impressions of her father were not entirely accurate.
Discovering her father was someone who would stop at nothing to become governor was dangerous for Laura and led her to a crossroads of decisions. I am glad she was able to confide in Wilson and trust him to help. They were very good for each other as Laura was able to be there for Wilson when he had a crisis of faith. I loved the plot twist that caught me off guard.
I was given a complimentary copy of the book from the publisher through AustenProse tours. A positive review was not required, and all opinions are my own.
