Tandi
Jo Reese has finally found a safe place to build her life and hope
blooms strong as her wedding nears. However, when Tandi receives
notice of a lawsuit against her, she is convinced she must confront
her sister, Gina, who, most likely, is the cause of this issue.
However, when she arrives in Tidewater, she finds the past she needs
to confront is far more vast than she knew.
The Tidewater Sisters
by Lisa Wingate is the postlude novella to The
Prayer Box. In a sense,
the novella could stand-alone as Wingate gives the essential
background information, but I don't think it would be particularly engaging to me if I hadn't read The Prayer Box.
It was my previous enjoyment of these characters that helped me enjoy
The Tidewater Sisters.
As
is common for novellas, there's limited character development, but
Wingate does an admirable job in other areas. The plot never dragged.
The relationship between Tandi and Gina rings with authenticity. She
remarkably portrayed the reality of dysfunctional families without a
miraculous, neat, wrap-everything-up-in-a-fake-way ending. However,
she managed to give Tandi a hopeful and healthy future.
Bottom Line: If you enjoyed The
Prayer Box by Lisa Wingate,
you'll enjoy revisiting
Tandi Jo Reese in The Tidewater Sisters.
