I had to read this story. After reading the blurb I knew that for a fact. What would caused a mother to walk away from her child and the only life she has ever known? For me that was hard to understand. Linnea made this heartbreaking choice because deep down she didn't feel worthy. She was young and shame at herself, disappointment at letting her family down and maybe depression played a part in some way in her actions. When she returns twelve years later with a chip on her shoulder and seeking to get to know her daughter, she gets a first hand look at how her choices have impacted her life and the life of her child. Redemption Falls is about coming to terms with hard choices. Kate Hewitt has written a story that is emotional and hard to read at times but full of lessons that are as true in reality as they are in fiction.
