Review: TAKEN AWAY by Patricia Yager Delagrange

 


Jesse Bradford fell in love with Serena Middleton at first sight in college. Then Serena got pregnant and they soon married. One day, Jesse comes home to find his wife and daughter gone without a trace.

Six months into the search, it was looking likely that Jesse would never find his wife and child, so he decides to move back to Iowa to take over his grandfather’s veterinary practice. Soon, he meets a woman, whose dog belonged to her deceased husband. While courting the lovely lady, Jesse lives each day working and wondering if his wife and child will ever be found—dead or alive. The two become souls that learn to re-live life.

Well-written, heartfelt, and captivating. At times, it was slow with lengthy prose that could’ve been omitted. Finding and helping the lost teen, at first, seemed out of place to me, but the author, overall, does a good job at keeping the reader on track. The whole thing concludes with a bang and a startling revelation.

 

My rating: 4 stars
