The Story Keeper
by Lisa Wingate was an amazing, wonderful read.
This one is going into my top ten for the year. There is so much to savor with this tale. The characters I connected with, the mystery
compelled me to continue reading, and the historical information was all new to
me and inspired me to also do some of my own research. This story was like a puzzle, there were a
lot of pieces but as they were put together it made for a beautiful
picture. We have Jen Gibbs who lives in
New York and has just started her dream job as an editor at Vida House
Publishing. Within her first couple of
weeks she finds a mysterious manuscript on her desk. Not knowing who gave her the story that
looks like it has been taken from the forbidden slush pile, she decides to go
ahead and start reading it. Not only is
Jen sucked into the story and its powerful characters, but we as readers are
also reading that same story and being pulled in. So along with Jen, we journey to discover who
wrote this and to determine if this could be the next big seller. Along the way, Jen has to start from where
she grew up in the Blue Ridge Mountains and face her own past that she has been
trying to forget. I have not yet read another author who can so
masterfully link up the past and the present in a profound and thoughtful
way. I received a copy for review from
The Book Club Network, Inc. and the opinions are my own.
