REVIEW:

Holy Cow! I just finished the second book in the Marsh Point Series. It is titled Echoes of the Past. The first book was A Long Journey Home. Both of these books are Fabulous and I highly recommend that if you haven’t read the first book, you start from the beginning. They can be read as stand alone novels but, you will get a richer understanding of the family history and dynamics if you start with book one. I have totally enjoyed both books and found both of them to be unputdownable!

I have been an Ashley Farley fan for a few years now and she writes books that I don’t even bother to read the synopsis. I know if she wrote it I am going to read it. I am so very fortunate to be an advanced reader for her. It cuts out some wait time before I am blessed with a new book by her.

This series is about the Darby family that is struggling with their pasts. Their mother was an alcoholic and the kids suffered some abuse and neglect when it came to their mother. The father tended to stay away from the situation. The four adult children are coming to terms with all they endured growing up. The oldest daughter had too much responsibility, the son has anger issues, one daughter is jealous of her sister and brother and the third daughter is a runaway they have never been able to find. I have enjoyed getting to know Ashton the oldest daughter and Will the only son who seem to be dealing with the past and dealing with the disasters occuring in their present lives.

If you love family drama and women’s fiction, you will really enjoy this series. Until next time…Happy Reading!
