Have you read any of Colleen Coble’s books? Well, here is one you don’t want to miss! Why? The story is rich in suspense, mystery, faith, redemption and hope. The main character is named Harper Taylor, who is a 30-year-old single woman with a desire to be part of a family. She makes a decision that changes her life dramatically. Harper doesn’t really foresee any of the issues her decision and actions ultimately bring into her life. Then again, she has no idea someone is after her ruthlessly!
Harper had a mentor named Oliver who took care of her and helped her forge a future despite a very rough past. What Oliver had to deal with is the fallout of his decision to help this young woman from his two natural children, Ridge and Willow. Oliver is a wonderful man and very supportive, as readers learn of his past, they’ll see a man who tried his best regardless of the cost.
Ridge is a man who wants to break out from his father’s shadow, but will his fractured family relationships ever not press down on him daily? Wait until you read when Ridge gives Harper the benefit of the doubt regarding her motivations with his father Oliver! What a story of redemption comes forth!
Harper though is on a mission to find her father. Her mother died right after she is born. Does she have any other family? Harper is smart, adventurous and has many unanswered questions. Life takes a dangerous turn for her when she takes a DNA test and a website links her with one family member who has a very familiar history to Harper.
In her uncanny ability to weave a tale without revealing the ending until readers are there, Colleen Coble has once again written a very compelling tale! I hope fans of Coble’s books and new readers will pick this book up and get lost in the pages, because it is a story well worth reading and sharing with others!

Immensely suspenseful and hard to forget!
What an impressive introduction into the work of a hugely popular and well loved author! While I am familiar with the author's books, I had never read one before, so I was incredibly delighted at how much I really enjoyed this story. Now, I'm looking forward to taking a look at her vast repertoire to discover more!This story opens with a powerful bang, thrusting readers back to 1990, and lays the foundation for the mysteries that follow. The characters are richly developed and woven together to create a masterful storytelling experience. With a unique premise and complex plot that spans three time periods, the author's writing style is amazing in making the connections with no confusion. Intertwining mysteries in both the past and present kept the twists coming until the shocking and absolutely stunning truth is finally revealed. While I had my suspicions about what would ultimately be revealed, I did not expect nor anticipate how it all came together. The author was able to brilliantly sprinkle out the clues across the story that will keep you thinking until the final moments. The pacing was fantastic and reinforced the mounting tension all the way to the very end, which is so hopeful and inspiring given the amount of turmoil wrecking havoc throughout the entire story."The right time for the truth is every minute of every day."We all know that the truth will set us free, and this was a fascinating exploration of just how devastating secrets and lies can be even for generations to come. Every one seemed to have something to hide, which certainly came back to haunt them as time went on. Despite the overwhelming sense of family dysfunction surrounding these characters, the conclusion sparks support for acceptance, forgiveness, and grace.The story's romance is incredibly clean and tender almost to the point that the classification of romantic suspense is somewhat misleading. I am a huge fan of the hate-to-love trope and really wanted to see that play out more as characters discovered their true feelings. I was slightly disconnected from the passion that was trying to play out on the page and would have appreciated more emotion on both ends of the spectrum.Overall, an immensely entertaining and highly recommended read that will be hard to forget!Many thanks to Partners in Crime Virtual Book Tours and the author for a free copy of this book. This is my honest and thoughtful review.
