Evergreen
by Susan May Warren was a poignant yet also a heart breaking and heartwarming
read. Ingrid and John of the Christiansen
family are finding themselves as empty nesters for the first time and most of
their children are not coming home for the holidays. While John plans a surprise romantic trip for
Ingrid, Ingrid is not dealing with her empty home well. When past feelings long buried begin to
resurface, Ingrid and John need to take a step back from their lives and really
look at and begin anew with the spouse they married, especially in this new
season of life. Enter their 16 year old
nephew who needs them as guardians and their older sick dog, and you have some
bittersweet holidays in the making. I
have always enjoyed reading Susan May Warren books. This one I was pretty much crying through
most of the book as I do not look forward to my children leaving the nest. This book for the most part has a happy
ending, though we went through much with the characters to get there. I do look forward to reading more of the
Christiansen family novels which are about Ingrid and John’s six kids. I received this book from The Book Club
Network, Inc. for an honest review and the opinions are my own.
