Title: Hidden Things Author: Andrea Boeshaar Publisher: Barbour Publishers ISBN: 1-58660-970-X Genre: Inspirational/Women/Fiction
Kylie Rollins has always considered herself a good girl. She grew up in a rural Wisconsin town, and is prepared to grow old there, married to her fiancé, Matt Alexander, a dairy farmer. She has a wonderful job as the town librarian. Everything is simply perfect. Everything, that is, until a mysterious envelope arrives in the mail—addressed to her deceased mother.
When Kyle opens the envelope, she discovers a wedding invitation and a faded photograph of four people she doesn’t know. One of them is identified as her. Kylie is shocked. The woman in the photograph couldn’t be her mother. A hippie, she seems to be the opposite of everything her conservative mother ever did or said.
Desperate to understand, Kylie tries to discuss this with her fiancé and his mother, who was her mother’s best friend. When they don’t understand her need to discover the truth, she calls the woman who sent the picture, hoping for answers. What she doesn’t expect is that she’s about to be tossed into the most confusing and stress-filled time of her life. Will she discover who she is? And how does Matt fit into her world now?
Hidden Things is book two in Andrea Boeshaar’s Faded Photographs Series. While it easily stands alone, readers will want to read book one Broken Things to fill in some of the missing pieces. I easily fell in love with Kylie and sympathized with her on her quest for answers.
The only thing I didn’t like about Hidden Things is that it ended without resolution. Readers will have to pick up the third book in the series to find out what happens. The main players in the next book are identified in Hidden Things and I am anxious to discover what will happen next. That said, Hidden Things is easily the best book I’ve read so far this year. It’s a book for the keeper shelf.
