Echoes of the Past!
Published January 23, 2024 by AHF Publishing
After testifying against her husband in a harrowing human trafficking case, Julia Becker is thrust into the secluded world of Witness Protection. Faced with a future in isolation, she manages a daring escape, seeking refuge in a quaint small town in South Carolina's lowcountry. But rather than the serene haven she’d envisioned, Julia stumbles upon a new kind of peril.
Will Darby is his own worst enemy. His anger management issues have gotten into a world of trouble that could land him in prison for life. He’s under investigation for the tragic boating accident that claimed his wife’s life. His in-laws are seeking custody of his two young daughters. And an independent journalist is determined to tarnish his reputation. Amidst the chaos, he befriends an intriguing young woman who’s is grappling with her own shadows. She holds the power to either alleviate his legal troubles or become his damning witness.
My thoughts about Echoes of the Past ~~
(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first lines.)
First lines—"I don't understand women. Females are as foreign to me as green Martians from out of space."
I have loved all of Ashley Farley's stories. I'm really thinking that this series is going to the top as one of my favorites. It really has everything, all wrapped up between the covers of the book. There is suspense, family drama, family dysfunction, family support, strong women, secrets, and plenty of love and compassion.
Echoes of the Past follows the lives of Will, one of the Darby siblings featured in the series, each who have their own issues to work through, and Julia, a wife and mother who finds herself in the Witness Protection Program. Plenty of suspense and drama there as people try to come after her.
As these two characters come together and try to work out their problems, the rest of the family pulls together to try to heal the past that their parents put them through. I love seeing the growth and acceptance that we see the whole family experience.
This is a story that I devoured once I started reading. I loved everything about it. I highly recommend Echoes of the Past as well as this whole series! I've read and loved all of Ashley's stories so be sure to check out more of her books.
I received a copy of Echoes of the Past from the author and this is my honest opinion.
