…where hearts once shattered, love dares to bloom again.
About Broken Branches:
Police
officer Tyler Kringle has kept his heart guarded since Maripier Nadeau
disappeared from his life years ago. A devastating family tragedy forced her to
leave Redford Falls as a teenager, leaving him to pick up the pieces of their
broken relationship. Now as she returns to care for her father—and honor her
late mother—memories, good and bad, reignite emotions Tyler thought he had
buried.
As
long-hidden truths emerge, Maripier must choose whether to prune the past or
nurture a future with the man she has always loved. No longer the shy girl, Maripier
is now strong and prepares to confront their shared, complicated and painful history.
Our Review: Author Darlene Fredette brings her loyal fans—and
hopefully a few new ones—on a trip back to Redford Falls where a few changes
have occurred—small businesses are cropping up thanks to the insurgence of
activities surrounding the local ski resort—and some old one, such as the
enterprising rabbit Thumper, who is still working his matchmaking skills on
those in most need of love.
This short contemporary romance is
more than the reincarnation of a beloved small town populated by a community
always at the ready to help those in need. It is a vivid showcase of the issues
suffered by adult children of alcoholics and untreated or undiagnosed mental
illness.
While the story will threaten to break readers’ hearts
for those affected by tragedy, at the same time it will warm the heart for the
resilience and ability to forgive on the parts of those same characters.
