Elin Summerall is
recovering from a heart transplant. The donor is an excellent match,
but Elin is now plagued by memories of the donor's murder. People
don't believe that cell memory can be that extensive, but for Elin
it's real.
The lovely home on
the beach she purchased has it's own story. Early in her residence,
Elin discovers diaries from the previous owner and gets caught up in
her story.
Romance is also on
the horizon. Elin's daughter is not the biological daughter of her
husband Tim. She's the product of a single night of passion with
Marc. When Marc finds out, he wants to be involved with his daughter
and decides to see his daughter whether Elin wants it or not.
Add to this the
problems of Elin's mom who is suffering from dementia, and you have a
novel with several plot lines that fit together with surprising
consequences.
I enjoy Colleen
Coble's novels. The settings are lovely and the plots always complex.
I do have a problem with this one because her use of the concept of
cell memory to explain Elin's frightening visions is a bit
unrealistic. I've read about cell memory, and it does exist, but I
think Coble takes it several steps too far.
However, the book is
delightful escapism. If you like romance, mystery and Christian
fiction, you'll enjoy this book.
I reviewed this book
for the Thomas Nelson Booklook Program.
