All Right
Here is a family
drama about the Darling Family. Leander
and Jane are the dad and mom to their five grown children: David, the twins
Laura and Ivy, Sephy, and Amy. This
particular book deals the most with Ivy and her husband Nick. Nick and Ivy have been married for 6 years
and Ivy is unable to have children.
Something she thought that she and Nick had overcome. Unfortunately, Nick has not let that go and
their marriage has suffered through the years.
When their new neighbor abandons her three children, she and Nick take
the kids in for what at first was supposed to be a few nights. But as the search continues for the
neglectful mother, Ivy opens her heart to the children who have not really had
a very good life. DeShaun at 14 has always
tried to shelter his little sister Jada who is 9 and his little brother Hammer
who is 6. Nick feels it his Christian
duty to help these children but he insists that they are not their kids. Under the foster care of both Nick and Ivy all
three children bloom and find hidden talents.
However, as the days turn into
weeks and then months, Ivy realizes her marriage is not going to change and
temptation looms on the horizon. When
Nick notices Ivy has cooled in her love for him, he realizes that he just might
lose her and the three children who ended up becoming more important to him
than he thought they would.
Laura, Ivy’s
twin, is the secondary story in this book.
Her story also deals with some difficult subjects. This book is filled with real life problems
and I did enjoy getting to know the Darling family. I really liked how they
still had Thursday night dinners with almost the whole Darling clan and getting
to peek in on their family celebrations. I enjoyed this author’s debut book and I look
forward to reading more about the Darling family. I received the book from The Book Club
Network (TBCN) and the opinions are my own.
