When Secrets Come CallingBy Felicia FergusonDescription:
When former University of Alabama and Titans wide receiver Dax Carpenter learns his father is accused of a forty-year-old robbery and murder, he turns to the only person he trusts to discover the truth: his ex-girlfriend, Caitlin Fitzhugh. Book Takeaway:Rooting yourself and your identity in God and trusting him even when your world is falling apart is the best way forward through life. Awards:
Why the author wrote this book:My first taste of this book and these characters came from "hearing" a conversation between Caitlin and her sister-in-law, Shannon. Shannon was teasing but also truly curious why Caitlin ended her relationship with Dax. After hearing their teasing, but loving camaraderie, I had to know their whole story. So I listened and I wrote. And their story touched me deeply. From dealing with heartbreaking decisions relating to a parent's healthcare needs, to fearing the future because of the past, to the agony of learning someone is not who you thought they were, their lives mirrored my own and my friends in so many ways, and I knew other readers would feel a connection as well. |
