Things Left Unspoken

Things Left Unspoken by Eva Marie Everson is a fascinating story of a woman who returns to her Southern roots and discovers that they may not be all she thought they were.

Jo-Lynn's Great-aunt Stella asks her to come back to her hometown to restore the family's "big house" to what it had been 100+ years ago, so the house can then be used as a museum. Having southern roots myself, and being interested in family history, as well as decorating with vintage "heirlooms", I couldn't put the book down! The intricate relationships within southern families (and southern small towns)... the importance of trust and the faithfulness of God... the dynamics of a 20+ year marriage... were all woven into this well-written story. I highly recommend it!
