Magnolia Nights by Ashley Farley
5.0
I love love love Ashley's books and this one is no exception. I think I heard this will be a series (or at least a 2nd book) which I am glad of because there is so much more to the story that hasn't been told yet.
This book is about learning about the past and coming to terms with it, finding love and strengthening family. There is even a little bit of action and mystery - a very well rounded book.
This book also reminded me of Flowers in the Attic with the strict grandmother and her actions and comments to her daughter and granddaughter.
Ellie has inherited the estate from the crazy grandmother. She has mixed feelings, as anyone would, about the house and everything else. But it is also cathartic because she knows she is repressing something but isn't sure what. You do find out but not giving it away, you'll have to read the book to find out.
The book does leave you hanging a little bit because Ellie's story is not complete and there are some other things that are revealed that need to be addressed more fully. Yes I know it is vague but has to be to not spoil part of the story.
