The Secret Keepers of Old Depot Grocery by Amanda Cox

About the Book:

Present Day. After tragedy plunges her into grief and unresolved anger, Sarah Ashby returns to her childhood home determined to finally follow her long-denied dream of running Old Depot Grocery alongside her mother and grandmother. But when she arrives, her mother, Rosemary, announces to her that the store is closing. Sarah and her grandmother, Glory Ann, make a pact to save the store, but Rosemary has worked her entire life to make sure her daughter never follows in her footsteps. She has her reasons--but she'll certainly never reveal the real one.

1965. Glory Ann confesses to her family that she's pregnant with her deceased fiancé's baby. Pressured into a marriage of convenience with a shopkeeper to preserve the family reputation, Glory Ann vows never to love again. But some promises are not as easily kept as she imagined.

My Review: 

 

Oh, this was such an amazing read!! Amanda Cox is an expert writer who creates characters that are real and who's stories will not leave you the same! Her dual-timeline story is well-crafted and will have you reading the book in record time. The plot is multi-layered (which I love), and the characters are definitely not flat--they are dynamic characters that will pull you right into the story. Don't miss out on this story--you won't be sorry you read it! I am so looking forward to more stories from this author! Would highly recommend!!

I voluntarily received a complimentary copy from Revell. All opinions and thoughts are my own.
