The Sound of Glass by Karen White
4.0

Im between 3 and 4 stars here


A couple years after Merritt's husband dies, she finds out his grandmother has died and left him her house. Since Merritt's husband predeceased his grandmother, the house belongs to her now.

She needs a fresh start and she decides to move into the house. She's never been to her husband's home state and knows basically nothing about his life before her or his family.

Shortly after she moves in, her father's second wife shows up on her doorstep with her son and wants to move in.

At first this sounds rough, Merritt doesn't even know her half brother or her step mom. She avoided them while her dad was still alive and now that he's deceased too, she doesn't even know them. But her step mom turns out to be a very loving person and ofcourse Merritt grows to appreciate finally getting to know her brother.

There is also Merritt's husband's brother In the picture and a long ago mystery involving his grandmother.

I enjoyed the characters, the storyline (present and past) and the setting. The only question I had at the end was, why the heck did the grandmother give the house to Calvin, Merritt's husband, instead of his much nicer brother?
