review 1: This book was a little hard to follow as the time frame and characters switched between the present and Emily who was remodeling an old house and the past and people who lived in the house during the days of the Underground Railroad. Emily found historic information in the house along with a secret room that was used to hide slaves. She becomes very interested in the history and Hannah and Liam who were helping hide them. So in reality when reading you are going back and forth between time and characters. Emily hires a contractor to do the house who just happens to be single so there's also some romance thrown in.
review 2: The whole time shift, going from present to the 1840's was cool. I found Emily and companies story to be more interesting than Hannah's. I ... morefound myself skimming through the 1840's. Strange because the historical stories are always a big favorite of mine. Needless to say, the author did a good job bringing the two groups of people/time eras together in the end.The jebus-y talk was eh! haha Not a religious fan here, but I wouldn't consider this story to be too bad or overbearing in that area. Either way, I'd recommend it. Questions/Comments:I understand Jake not being ready to be a father, but at the same time with him knowing how Ben is, how could he have left Adam and Lexi with him? Honestly, I'm not totally sure how they would have been able to stay with Ben to begin with. What, their mother dies and nothing happens? Life continues? What about insurance policies and whatnot? Or the social workers? How does Ben afford to care for them?Anyways, Ben's not related, he never adopted them, all he did was marry their mother. You'd think they would have automatically ended up with Jake. Jake and his mom have more legal right to have the kids than Ben. What right did Ben have to even keep the kids in the beginning? What did Ben getting social security have to do with the kids? I didn't understand that. Whatever. Mess up: "Jake would take the cat and Ben wouldn't call the social worker." Why would Ben be calling them?When Emily and Adam are in the boat during the storm, why does she tell him to take his shoes off? They didn't end up swimming until the boat fell apart, I think...Obviously it was easier for them to swim without the shoes, but she didn't know the boat was going to have more issues before it did. Get what I'm saying here?Adam's in the hospital...why is he wearing an oxygen mask? Jake goes to check on Emily after the boat accident. Why did he try to get her to go to his mothers and not just stay there for the night? Wouldn't that have been common sense? Considering she was already out and injured? Hannah goes to the same church as white people? Again, why does that not sound right?What is wrong with Emily's lungs? That seems to have come up after the boating thing, but I feel like I'm missing something more to that story. So we find out over half way through the book that the threat Ben used on the kids was calling social services. I don't get it though. Adam is a really smart kid. How did they ever think that they would be separated and in foster care? Why wouldn't they have talked to Jake or their grandmother? The big reveal surrounding the 'accident'. So Emily was taking drugs...while pregnant and decided to ski too? Either way, how can she be making a big deal that she lost her baby? I mean seriously. It definitely didn't sound like she really cared about having a baby to begin with, considering what she did. Yeah, her bf left, but, oh well. Grow up. Why would Isaiah have left his wife behind? Especially with her being pregnant? Don't tell me it's because she's a cook?If Emily had an apt waiting for her in CA, I assume for the nanny position, then why would she be looking for houses in Missouri? Just because Emily can't have a child....I just never understand why people always make a big deal out of situations like this? There are other children out there looking for homes/families. It's not like it's the end of the world because you can't give birth.After hearing Jake and his lawyer talking about how Emily would be a good thing considering Jake was trying to get the kids back....Jake laughs and Emily runs off. Why exactly? How could she have thought that Jake would have taken the lawyer seriously? Come on! Is she really that stupid?Lexi is tied to a tree with Ben's belt. Her wrist is attached, so she can still stand up if she wanted. I don't understand how she wouldn't be able to get it undone. Supposedly it's because the belt is long. Huh? Where is her other hand? less
