I thoroughly enjoyed this Second Wentworth Cove
novel.
Faith Parker is a kindergarten teacher who has
moved with her family from Texas to Wentworth Cove, Maine. Josh Whitehall is a
brooding photographer with a secret. When he is asked to mentor eleven-year old
Daniel in his photography pursuits, refusal turns to willingness when he meets
Daniel's beguiling sister, Faith. And the chemistry between them begins and slowly builds. A
poignant family crisis tests the faith and commitment of the Parker family, drawing Faith, Daniel and Josh ever
closer. I thought I had figured
out the outcome of this emotionally-charged story, but was pleasantly surprised when proved wrong.
The characters are real and likeable. My favorite
is Daniel, an adorable, lively, thoughtful and self-confident lad even in the
face of serious challenges that would discourage any adult. The author has done
an excellent job in crafting his character, as well as the others. All are
complex in their own way. The author has captured the essence of happy family
life, whose members actually talk to each other, enjoy being together, cook together and eat together. And Daniel is the glue that binds them all.
I highly recommend this gentle, well-written
story. It is a love story on several levels and highlights the healing power of
love and family devotion.
