Turkey Trot Blog Hop: FAMILY SECRETS

Update: The sweepstakes offer for FAMILY SECRETS is now closed. The winner of one digital copy of  the book is Susan P. Congratulations!


Welcome to the 2016 Turkey Trot Blog Hop

Thanksgiving is about more than a big family feast featuring a perfectly roasted turkey. It is an opportunity for each of us to reflect on those things for which we are grateful. The sentiment of this poster from earlier in the 19th century was just as valid during the years of the Vietnam War and beyond, one of the storylines of three generations of one family in Family Secrets.

Today I will be featuring Family Secrets. Although not a Thanksgiving book per se, several scenes in the book tend to revolve around Thanksgiving. Here is the book description:


About Family Secrets:

Jennie Graves Howell has a secret, including being thought of as a loyal wife to her husband serving in Afghanistan, a husband who has demanded a divorce.

     Jennie’s family do not want her to delve into the past. Grandpa Mike refuses to talk about his experiences in the Vietnam War and the aftermath. He wants the biggest mistake he ever made to remain hidden in the past, including family members Jennie never heard about until hints of their existence begin to seep through the cracks of secrecy.

      Her new friends at the Golden Oaks Family Ties club are willing to teach Jennie the skills she needs to unlock her family’s secrets, but is she willing and emotionally strong enough to learn what her family has kept hidden?
