BROKEN WINGS is Ms. Stewart’s second book, the debut being Chasing Lilacs. I read Chasing Lilacs but a long time ago, and
don’t remember it well. I’m behind on book reviews (obviously, since this one
came out almost two years ago).
I had no idea what this book would be about when I picked it
up. But the opening is engaging. I felt so bad for Brooke and for Mitzi. I had
to keep reading to see why Brooke would stay with such a jerk, and my heart
broke for Mitzi who loved her husband to distraction and now faced losing him.
I had to admire her for finding an outlet—volunteering at the hospital.
When Mitzi discovers Brooke’s truth and Lance’s abuse, she
tries to talk Brooke out of his life—providing her a safe haven. But Lance
starts stalking her and the tale of terror continues. A sweet love story on one
hand—a tale of redemption on the other. Recommended. $13.99. 320 pages.
