Five Miles South of Peculiar by Angela Hunt


 

Fifty-year old Darlene Caldwell, her twin Carlene and their younger sister Magnolia, find themselves under one roof again—at Sycamores, their childhood home and the aging estate of their grandfather.  Life together isn’t easy as Darly and Carly have secrets in their past to overcome while the clock is ticking down to the time when Sycamores will revert ownership to the county.  Darly, widowed, and Carly, recently retired from Broadway, along with Nolie, who has never left the estate, must learn to forgive each other free each other from past offenses.

Angela Hunt, one of my favorite authors because of her varied subjects and plots, deals with sin, love, forgiveness and second chances.  She peels back the layers in the story one at a time, allowing the reader greater understanding of the characters and the plot.  Despite this process, she keeps the reader’s attention and encourages the reader to examine his or her own past and its relevance to the present.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and its characters.  I would recommend it highly.  The publisher provided my free copy and this is my honest review.
