WINNING THROUGH

A MUST READ BEFORE READING THE PRODIGAL WIFE BY MARCIA WILLETT. A GOOD FAMILY STORY

Conclusion of the Wonderful Chadwick Family Trilogy

Having loved all the Marcia Willett books, I find it hard to pick a favorite. However, the Chadwick Family trilogy will certainly be at the top of my list and stay with me a long, long time. I doubt I will ever forget Fliss, Mole, Susanna, and all the other wonderful characters that live in that safe haven in Devon known as The Keep. Like Looking Forward and Holding On, the previous entries in this series, Winning Through has all the anguish and heartache, the family drama and charm that makes the entire trilogy a masterpiece. The three orphans from Kenya are now grown and facing middle age. Fliss has a family of her own, a marriage that needs a lot of repair, and a tragedy she never foresaw but which changes her whole life. Susanna retains her sunny disposition and shares not only a wonderful family life and three children with her husband Gus, but also is a vital part of his business. Mole still struggles with the images from Kenya but has found his niche as a naval officer and works in a highly sensitive area. He is not prepared for the problem he encounters when he finally meets the love of his life, but just as he finds the necessary courage to commit to his love, an unexpected event will once again change what might have been. Old characters die and new ones are born as the saga continues with a warmth and coziness that will delight readers. Marcia Willett has a special talent for making readers feel part of the Chadwick family and delight in their triumphs, cry at their misfortunes, and be totally immersed in life at The Keep.
