A Terrific Read

After reading the Savannah series and falling so completly in love with the characters, I didn't think that I would enjoy this book as much. Boy was I wrong! The characters in this book almost each needed a book of their own. They left a huge impression on me. I almost felt as though I didn't get to know them as well as I would have liked. I guess that is a sign of a truly gifted author...always leave them wanting more. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Denise Gets to the Heart of the Matter

Family! Can't live with them - Can't live without them - or can we?? Denise Hildreth gives you a sneak peek into a rich dysfunctional family at it's extreme!! Denise's story unfolds thought the children of Elijah Clayton Wilcott II. Elizabeth is a successful attorney who owns her own business. She's headstrong, passionate and full of hostility for her father and brother Jeffery. Jeffery is the oldest brother who is a very successful p\plastic surgeon. He is wrapped up in a world of his selfish desires and hasn't a clue ab out family; how to be a husband or father. He doesn't see the importance of either one. Mary Catherine is a woman born to travel. She fly's around with her husband to experience new places and collect interesting and fun items. Work for a living - Not her!! Then there's Will the baby in the family who is a professional student. He is the president of his fraternity and may never graduate. Work? He is having way too much fun in college. The babes love him. Fraternity parties now that's where it's at for Will. Life as Elizabeth, Jeffery, Mary Catherine and Will know it is about to be over after they are read the terms of their fathers will. Elijah Clayton Wilcott wants them to do the unthinkable for a while year!! All the children think he has got to be kidding. This had to be some extreme joke. Not!! No money for any of the children that do not comply with their late father's wishes. They can't believe their father would do this to them. Who else could they talk to? There had to be a way around these demands so they could get the money now. The Wilcott children all had money but their father had so much more. You can never have too much money was their mind set. There had to be a way to beat this!! Each one was determined to find that way on their own. Denise says this about herself "The one thing I believe the Lord has gifted me to do is to take the human relationship and strip it down to the place we all live:. She does this so well. It's very true with this book and the others I have read by her. One the surface this seems like a light hearted fun book a no brainer. But after reading a few chapters I felt that Denise had a way of pirecing my heart and mind as I read parts of this story I started to feel uncomfortable as the Wilcott children struggled with the situations they found themselves in. I found myself searching my soul, my motives, hurts in my life and the lives of others around me. I walked away from this book knowing that in the middle of the "stuff" of life, (the good, bad, and the ugly). God sets us up for victory. Denise says "He surrounds each of us with everything necessary to win...Each of us will taste "life". It's inevitable. But each of us has been given every necessary tool for our refining, our taming, our potential:. In the end it's a matter of our will. Will we trust God with our whole life, our dreams, our heart or not?? This is a powerfully moving book!! It wil

Great Chic Lit

I really like this book and its rare that I warm up to a book so quickly but this one I have. The only thing that causes me to put this book down is my need for sleep.

The Best Yet!

Denise continues to amaze me. This is her best book yet. It has suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat and you'll fight the impulse to turn to back of the book and figure it all out - but don't! The journey on the way there is worth the wait. Denise's books are more than entertainment - they cause the reader to look deep within and hopefully, if necessary - change. I was at her book signing in Columbia, SC yesterday - it was worth the wait standing in line to greet this incredible author! [This review is written in memory of Jacob]
