Hallowed Halls by the husband/wife team, Hannah Alexander,
is a very interesting book that looks into relationships. Not only that, but it has a very intriguing
medical mystery as well. I was drawn
into this story and all the dynamics that it involved. The main character Dr. Joy Gilbert is still
broken hearted from her break up with her fiancé Zack, who is a fellow
doctor. With problems at home with her
mom, Molly, Joy takes a job in the city much farther away than the country home
she is used too. It has been 9 months,
and things are still not working out for Joy.
Being pursued by her divorced employer and her overloaded work schedule,
Joy needs to go home and face her Mother’s mounting debt and health problems
and Zack. Not only that, but she has a
stowaway, Tressa, who is the very wealthy and powerful divorced employer’s
daughter. Tressa is dealing with some
issues of her own, from both her parents.
Not only that, but there is something more sinister and dangerous happening
to Tressa. This story is full of secrets that each individual is keeping and
needs to come to light. I really liked
how the author showed that the decisions and mistakes people make, not only affect
the person making them, but everyone as a whole. I also enjoyed how all the characters related and
responded to each other, especially Joy and Molly’s relationship. There is definitely some healing and
forgiveness that needs to take place for all the characters. This is my first
read by Hannah Alexander and with the solid storytelling found in this book it
will not be my last. I received this
book from The Book Club Network, (TBCN) and the opinions are my own.
