Up to Rachel Ann Nunes' High Standards

This is a wonderful book about searching for the truth,forgiveness and compassion. The characters are well orchestrated and believable. I highly recommend this book along with another one by Ms. Nunes, "Fields of Home".

Kept me guessing until the end

Since this book's release, I was interested to read it. I've read several of Rachel's book, but this one is written for the national market--published by the Shadow Mountain imprint by Deseret Book. The first thing that stood out in this novel was the great characterization. The story is about a woman, Liana, who was adopted as a child by her relatives. She doesn't why she continues to have nightmares and flashes of memories about her childhood. Her parents were both killed in a plane crash in India. At first glance the premise was interesting, but I wondered what could really be so shocking when she goes to her parents gravesite. Well, I was very surprised and didn't see the twist coming. I also enjoyed the descriptions of the country of India--in fact Rachel did all the descriptions very well, from Las Vegas area to a farm in Wyoming. There are no obvious LDS characters in this book, no conversion story to God, but it is one woman's story of coming to grips with her past and finally accepting where she came from.

Her best book yet!

I think that this was Rachel Ann Nunes best book so far! It was beautifully written, effectivly capturing emotion. I cried several times while reading it. The characters are so real and I felt like I actually knew them. She perfectly captured Liana and all of her emotions and struggles. It was a tender romance as well as an intriguing mystery. I was trying to solve the mystery myself all through the book and it was impossible to put down. Anyone who likes romance, mystery, or both, should read this book!

I couldn't put the book down!

A mystery, a love story, and so much more all in one. Truely enjoyable!! I just had to know what was going to happen next.
