Best-selling author Darcie Chan delivers a charming, heart-warming tale of love, family and the ties that bind them together in "The Mill River Redemption." It is truly a story of reconciliation and redemption.Rose and Emily are devastated when they learn mother Josie has died. As estranged sisters, they are thrown for a loop when they learn the conditions of their mom's will. They are required to live next door to each other, find a key and unlock the treasure. It's a request that Josie has specified with only love in her heart. Her dying wish is to see her daughters come together and remember the good times they had growing up in Mill River. Mill River is where Josie retreated to live with her aunt, Ivy, after the mysterious death of her husband. Just as in real life, though, nothing is as it seems. The sisters get more than they expected, including a surprise of a lifetime!
Love story for the ages.... Wow! Not what I expected. I maybe should have read the reviews before the book. It truly is a beautiful story of friendship and love that many of us only dream of. The part that was hard for me to stomach was the super creepy police officer and the spousal abuse. I knew the second part was coming. I just think the combo put me off a little. The relationship in the center of the story made the book. The side characters were great too. One more thing...spoons! Loved that part!
Pure good-hearted entertainment. Easy read that makes you smile.
It was interesting, if a little sad and long.
