Series discovery: Chapel Springs

 

This was a wonderful series about a close-knit family in a small town.  I loved seeing the way the brother and sisters looked out for each other, teased and wanted the best for each other.  I also loved the supportive parents, especially Mamma Jo who comes across as meddling, but you love her anyway for butting in where she should have stayed out.



In this series, the author took some series subjects, alcoholism, rape, foster system and child abuse and showed the effects on the characters in a realistic way. The author provided the readers with just enough detail to show what happened to the characters, how it impacted their lives, but also delivered the stories with hope and break through.
