The Secret Place by Camille Eide -- Bookstagram + Review Tour

About the Book

How far can love bend before it breaks?
Josie Norris became an instant mommy when her twin sister Nadine handed over her newborn son and vanished. What Josie saw as a temporary arrangement grew into a mother-son bond too deep to uproot. But with her irrational sister threatening to steal him back, Josie has been living the last few years with Kennedy in hiding, afraid to go home.

When Aunt Libby—the only person who knows the truth about Kennedy—suffers a traumatic head injury, Josie rushes to her McKenzie River home to help Gram care for the woman who raised her. But not only is Libby’s injury causing family secrets to spill, it’s forcing Josie to see the women in her life in a new light.

Will—a ranger who Kennedy adores and who Josie is determined not to—is desperate to help the woman who has stolen his affections. But can Josie ever truly be authentic with the man she loves? With her son’s fate hanging in the balance, she is faced with the choice to risk everything she loves in order to bridge the most impossible gulfs.

In this story of mothers, daughters, and sisters, Josie must find the grace to forgive people for not being who she needed them to be…and the courage to surrender her fears to the God who has never once left her side.

Review

Camille Eide has written a beautiful, poignant, and soul searching story of secrets, abandonment, and mental illness, all of which readers can associate with.  Everyone’s story is different, including the lives of the twins in this touching story.  Once best friends, they go down very different paths in life and it’s their journey of coming back together.  Although the story deals with some tough issues,  Eide handles them in such a way that readers will connect and hope for a happy ending.  From the turn of each page, this story has twists and turns that will cause readers to wonder if the book really will have a happy ending, or if the ensign will be devastating.  Eide has written a story that evokes readers to think about their own lives and consider what matters most.  This is am intirculty woven story that will touch readers to the core.
