*****great news**** and an Update***
The Giveaway to get the paperback copy for this is over; however, you can digitally read When We Last Spoke for free right now!!!!
Oh where do I begin about this book? When We Last Spoke written by Marci Henna, starts off with two sisters, Juliet and Evangeline Cranbourne, that need to order a head stone for their beloved grandparents. The sisters have become estranged over the years by misunderstandings that happened during their childhood.
This is where their story begins. Through out the book we go through the journey of the lives of Juliet and Evangeline, two orphaned sisters.
The story is beautifully written, I laughed and cried and felt the love radiating from the their story. I really couldn't put it down, it was a quick read that made a big impact. This story brings us through the sisters childhood when they were left on their very loving grandparents ranch. This story shows so much love, trials and tribulations of growing up. The story takes place in the 1960's, and brings us to the present.
Reading this there are so many lessons to learn. Not to judge people thinking you are helping by shielding them from the truth. Never underestimate what a person can handle. Never judge situations until you know the absolute truth as there are too many people that can get hurt.
I can honestly say I can see this being a great movie. One that you would find on Pureflix or Hallmark.
Overall, this is an excellent read, one that I couldn't put down. There are many lessons to be learned, oh and I forgot to mention, a lot of southern cooking going on in this book. A lot of it comfort food, and their family traditions. The story takes place in Fireside Texas, and teaches the benefits of growing up in a small town where everyone knows each other. Family isn't always blood. I love that for the most part, the child hood memories are told in a child's perspective, going back in time as a child telling the story, and transitions beautifully as from childhood memory to the present as an adult.
While the girls were dropped off at their grandparents (Ruby and Walt) doorstep on the ranch, they learned what it was like to be loved unconditionally. Ruby and Walt loved each other so much, that their relationship molded what the girls would grow up to want in their adult relationships. When the sisters reunited there was a little snootiness because of hurt feelings from many years ago; however, once around each other, (and the signs from Heaven Ruby and Walk kept throwing their way) they said their feelings to one another and cleared the bad feelings between them. Once they did, it was as if they both had some sort of closure and can move on with their lives, only in a much happier state of mind.
Thanks for reading. I really can't give this book enough justice; however, I would love for you to get your own free copy of this book by entering the GiveAway!!! ****please note the author Marci henna is also giving away a free copy on Amazon for Kindle February 20th -24th****
