Customer Reviews

Best CF I have read so far this year

I can’t recommend this novel enough. It is engaging, impactful and heart tugging. My all time favorite of Lisa Wingates. I absolutely loved it.

Searching for Freedom in Oklahoma

5 stars, Searching for Freedom in Oklahoma SHELTERWOOD by Lisa Wingate This is a dual timelines book about three little girls who are desperately trying to escape from a dangerous man and find love and freedom in Oklahoma in 1909 and some mysterious children's skeletons found in a cave in 1990. There is a lot of mystery in this book, it leaves you wondering if the children's skeletons belong to the three little girls. That part made it harder for me to read and really get into the story. I really liked the Ollie and Valerie characters. Quotable Quote: "I'm female, which in general does you no favors in the NPS system. If you're harassed, hazed, ogled, propositioned, whatever, you're expected to tough it out, deal with it yourself, grow a thicker skin, and move on." A lot of women have had to deal with things like this in our history. Highly recommend to any mystery lover.
