Yesterday after I finished with the painting of my ceiling fan I decided to sit down with the next book that was downloaded on my kindle. Echos From the Past - Grace Brannigan, which happened to be the next one on the list. I try and make my way down the list from the first page to last. Some of the books I have downloaded have been on there since, well before I had a kindle and I was downloaded them to my computer app for the kindle. That is where you can get books for the kindle even if you don't have a kindle at the moment, but want one.
So this book is about Christie, a child from an abusive home growing up, and Garrett, an ex-rodeo and former husband to one of Christie's sisters.
Christie is on her way to find her older sister Judith with an address in which her sister had written from 2 years before. When she has pulled into the drive of the address she had, she sees a little girl crawling out of the high grass. The little girl is trying to check a kitten when a hay truck is coming down the road, the same road Christie is parked on and the same road in which the girl is standing. Christie yells at the girl to get out of the road, but the girl stands frightened staring at the truck, which was trying to brake but couldn't since the brakes weren't working. Before she knows it Christie is running to grab the girl and taking them both onto the ground out of the way of the truck and the truck swerves to hit the car Christie had been driving plowing it right into a ditch.
Garrett hear the ruckus and came to see what was going on. When he seen that his daughter was involved he almost couldn't breathe. He grabbed his daughter to make sure she was okay. Then he noticed Christie. He wasn't sure who she was until she asked about Judith, even then he didn't know who she was. It wasn't until she told him that she was Judith's sister.
That is when Christie had found out that not only had she lost one older sister, Ellen, who died 3 months prior to her showing up at Garrett's farm, but she lost her other older sister that she never got to know, since Judith had left home at age 15. Just like Christie did.
Does Christie get to know her niece? Does Christie ever find out how her sister she never knew died? Does she leave once she gets through with what she came to do? Find out by reading Echos From the Past - Grace Brannigan.
Thank you for reading. Enjoy every minute of every day. Keep watch for the next read!
