The Photograph

Wrapped in family and emotion, this story easily snagged my heart from the beginning. The narrators, Christina Moore and Stina Nielsen, did a wonderful job, and I enjoyed reading along in my paperback copy.

The complex plot and family drama appealed to me. It wasn't the exaggerated melodrama type but rather the sweet sort among siblings, romances, and the community.

The theme of choosing between right and wrong was beautifully written. Those choices aren't always as black-and-white or easy as they seem, and Mrs. Lewis exhibited that well, along with how our choices help build our legacies that might help guide others who come in the next generation.

The cover is quietly stunning, and I'm happy the story beneath it stood up to that first impression. There were some charming plot twists and surprises along the way. I really cherished this heartwarming novel.
