My Thoughts:
Windy is the youngest sister of the Day girls and she gets her story in this third and final story. When I think of historical books, I don't often think of the 1970's, no I usually think farther back. However, this whole series takes the reader to the 1970's and the culture, the slang, and what the hot topics for the day was. Author Cary brought the 70's to life for me in the story of these three sisters.
Windy has a lot on her plate. Being the youngest she feels she has something to prove. She is also an unwed mother now that her own daughter Heather is born. Windy is determined to make sure that Heather has a different experience through her childhood. Windy will not abandon Heather like her own mother did her and her sisters.
Kris is a guy that Windy knows is dependable. He is not the father of her child but he is the guy she is falling for and and has a strong sense that she can trust. Kris is dealing with his own family issues especially his parents push for him to go to college. Kris likes working with his hands and he is a very accomplished artisan, besides that he has a pretty big secret he is keeping from everyone.
This story is full of family drama especially when a couple of people come back that turns the Day family upside down and makes them question what they should do in the future. This was a good story of three sisters finding their happily ever after's and reconciling with the past.
I was provided a copy of this novel from the author. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.

More from Jennifer
Do you remember The Mod Squad? I loved that 1960s TV show and thought Peggy Lipton’s character, Julie Barnes, was the coolest.
A few years ago my sister sent me a photo. She’d just gotten her hair done at a Blow Bar for the first time. With thick, naturally wavy hair, she was shocked at the transformation and had to share. “Jenny, it’s not just straight, it’s Peggy Lipton straight!” I didn’t need to question the reference. I knew exactly what she meant even before checking out the photo link. Peggy Lipton’s hair was board straight. But more than that, she had that pale blonde look with dark brows and lashes. In color draping terms, she’d be classified as a Winter.
Peggy Lipton is who came to mind as I imagined Windy June Day, the youngest of the Day sisters. I also saw her as extremely artistic and brave, but she needed her own book to fully tell her story. In her sisters’ books, you get an idea of her personality but with Windy, now you get to know what went on in her head—her fears, her spiritual journey, her essence. You also get to better understand her fierce nature and amazing potential.
I really loved writing all three of these stories, but there was something personal about Windy’s. I also was an unwed mother and had to consider my daughter before I could think about any relationship. I also learned the freedom of forgiveness and turning my past, my future, my daughter all over to the One who could bring beauty from ashes.
Windy looks at a lot of things that we today have chosen to forget or have learned to look at differently. It’s funny to think that not that long ago, those things were the normal, everyday life. I hope Windy brings back fun memories or gets you to talk to someone who might remember those days.

ReplyDeleteI love finding a new series to read! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed all three books. I liked Windy's story best.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the contest.
The 70s certainly doesn’t seem like a historical setting to me, but stories set during that decade are more nostalgic for me. Looking forward to Windy's story.

ReplyDeleteI was a grownup in the 70s. I got all the references in the stories.
