That Dog Won’t Hunt
By Brandilyn Collins
“Baby” Ben is bringing his fiancée home to meet the
family, and Ruth Dearing is determined that everything will be perfect for her
son. Ben’s three older sisters, two of
them married with kids, are all home for their annual family reunion. Christina, Ben’s fiancée, is not looking
forward to meeting Ben’s perfect family.
He obviously adores them all, and she knows that she will never measure
up to them. Christina’s family was
nothing to be proud of – alcoholic parents coupled with the constant verbal and
physical abuse of her father. There is
no way she will ever be good enough to fit in here. Jess, the youngest of the 3 daughters is
skeptical of Christina. Something isn’t
quite right with that girl. Can
Christina find grace and love within this family before her self-condemnation
cuts her off forever?
Wow! What a change
of pace for this great author – southern non-suspense fiction. I really enjoyed reading this book by
Brandilyn Collins. Her talent for
writing suspense translates perfectly to this new genre. The characters are well developed and
loveable. Christina’s struggle to find
grace in the face of her terrible past is perfectly explained and
understood. Some mention of turning to
God for answers is included, but I wish faith would have played a more central
role in helping Christina find her place in the Dearing family. Overall I give this book an A: fiction lovers
are gonna like it! And there’s more to
come….
