Hidden Things

From the first page I was hooked. Kylie's discoveries change her life and how she views herself. Her struggles to deal with these new issues, as well as current relationships, took me on an emotional journey of my own. I laughed with her, cried with her and rejoiced with her. Excellent work from Andrea Boeshaar. Looking forward to the next book and will be reading "Broken Things" soon. :-)

Hidden Things

After reading Broken Things by Andrea Boeshaar, I was anxious to read this new book. It is a continuation of her Faded Photographs Series. The reader quickly loves Andera's characters. They experience the type of things that all of us struggle with. It increased my faith to read about how Kylie learned to trust the Lord and understand how to follow God's will in her life. Kylie had hard decisions to make. She fought feelings of betrayal from many people. Sometimes, she didn't react the right way, but the end of the book was satisfying. I can hardly wait for the third book in this series.

Hidden Things

Kylie has everything going for her, with her job as a librarian, her engagement to Matt, good friends and church, until she receives a faded photograph and the lies begin to unfold. How can she unravel the uncertainties surrounding her past, her fiancé and her newly discovered grandparents? She accepts Jesus and suddenly she operates in a new perspective. Will Matt fit into this new picture?

A tender story of a woman's search for truth...

Kylie receives an old photograph revealing her mother's secret past. Searching for answers, Kylie's identity unravels as she learns her life has been based on half-truths and secrets. The journey leads her to discovery of the greatest truth of all.Hidden Things, the second novel in Ms. Boeshaar's Faded Photographs Series, is a satisfying follow-up to Broken Things. Readers will eagerly anticipate the release of Precious Things, third in the series, in May 2004.

Well-written, believable characters

An old photograph, a few questions and Kylie Rollins' life disintigrates. Against Matt's objections, Kylie digs deeper into the past her deceased mother had kept hidden. Kylie's probing takes her from her hometown of Basil Creek, WI to Chicago, on to South Carolina and into her Heavenly Father's embrace. She allows Him to work through the wreakage that is now her life and make something new. But will that new life include Matt and her hometown? Kylie, Matt, Marilee, Allie, TJ and others make it difficult to put 'Hidden Things' down and sad to part with at book's end.
