“A captivating story… richly woven narrative with vivid characters. A perfect story."
From the bestselling author of The Storyteller’s Secret comes an unflinching exploration of betrayal, forgiveness, and the healing power of a second chance.
Celine’s life is spiraling out of control. She’s in danger of losing the beloved equestrian farm that was her childhood home. Her distant husband, Eric, is devoting a suspicious amount of time to a stunning new colleague. Then her young son, Brian, receives a devastating cancer diagnosis. How much worse can things get?
Felicity has uprooted her career and her teenage son, Justin, to get closer to Eric. She’s tired of keeping his secrets―that Eric’s frequent “business trips” have been spent playing family with them. Felicity is determined to get her happily ever after, even if it means confronting Celine at a delicate time.
But when Brian’s prognosis worsens, and a transplant from Justin becomes his best chance at survival, Felicity must make a wrenching decision about her son’s well-being―and Celine must accept that the “other woman” is her only hope. In another life Celine and Felicity might have been friends. Can they put aside the pain between them to do what’s best for their families―and their own futures?
The Sun's Shadow is one of the most powerful books that I have ever read. It is a turn between a marital problem or swallowing an ego. This book will surely twist your heart in so many ways.
A story of betrayal, forgiveness, and finding your happiness. A marriage that has a secret will never last. Finding that forgiveness within yourself is hard, but you have to let go. Happiness for yourself needs to be prioritized, so you can live the life that you have ever wanted.
I adore Celine, and she is my favorite character. A very vulnerable but strong woman who is unselfish in fighting for her son. I would do the same. Sometimes in life, you have to pick the bottle that is not for you, but choose what is best for your son.
The horse scene is so powerful as well. It is heartbreaking, and it is one of my favorite chapters. I enjoy this book. It is one of a kind.
