review 1: Driftwood Lane is a more serious story. The main story line is about a half-sister, Meredith, who is called to be the guardian of her three half siblings who have lost their parents. I found Meredith and her control freak, by the book personality humorous, knowing that once she became the guardian of three kids, that lifestyle would be forced to change. The story was realistic in that both Meredith and Jake had real jobs and dealt with money issues. Meredith was trying to understand how to help the children deal with grief. The story has a happy ending however I felt that much of the book was sad. You can see my full review at More Than a Review dot com where I rate the level of sex, violence, language and drug/alcohol use in books.
review 2: Driftwood La... morene by Denise HunterAfter having just read a few other books by Denise when I saw she had one of the Nantucket series available via my local library I ordered it.Meridith Ward's father had remarried and had 2 boys and another girl that lived on Nantucket Island running a B&B. When she got the call that they had died and left her the inn and the kids she traveled to lend a hand til the uncle who the kids were close to had returned from his trip.She, technically is the oldest of all the father's kids. She has many plans for the B&B to spruce it up, sell it and move them all back to MI.The story also follows Eva's brother, Jake and he's on vacation helping in the south with habitat for humanity. Once he learns of the accident he goes back to the island and tells the kids not to tell her that uncle J. is back in town, he wants to snoop so he can take evidence to the authorities and gain custody of the kids himself.Love the setting and hearing of the architecture of the buildings on the island and hearing of the sea and decorations with shells.She was a safety inspector and after her week off they had to let her go because she had no idea when she'd return to the state. Her fiance Stephen was also there...She knows she must keep her distance from Jake since he's own the bid to fix up the B&B. Jake remembers his sister saying something about bipolar disease ran in the family and wonders if Meridith could have it...Love hearing of the driftwood sculptures and anybody that works with their hands.The scene where the child asks her about heaven is good and it reassures him that God is with their parents in heaven.Face your fears and trust in God... less
