Thicker than Blood by C.J. Darlington

I love to read new authors. There are some real gems. C.J. Darlington is one of them. She has penned a wonderful novel about forgiveness.

The character development, plot, dialogue, and setting were on target. The characters were real. You felt the scenes.

Two sisters. Two separate lives separated by years due to a tragic event. How could a stolen Hemingway First Edition Book bring them together once again? Can the past be forgiven?

Christy Williams works for Dawson’s Book Barn. She loves her job and is given the opportunity to step up in that role by taking a lead in an auction.

On the other end of the spectrum, May Williams is part ownership in Triple Cross Ranch. The bank has issued a demand letter to pay up or lose the ranch. She hasn’t seen her sister, Christy in years and longs to be reconnected, as sisters should be.

Christy Williams will do anything not to see her sister again. Circumstances make that impossible and May is her only hope. She lands on May’s doorstep.

It’s evident that May Williams is a Christian. Christy doesn’t want to hear about it. What has God done for her? She’s only experienced trouble her entire life. It’s getting worse not better.

The novel has a satisfying ending and you will want to hand the book to someone else to read.

I look forward in reading C.J. Darlington’s future works.
