Ivy
Darling can't have children of her own, and her husband Nick's resentment is
forcing them apart. And while Ivy has the support and love of her large,
close-knit family, Nick's family has never welcomed her into the fold.
When the
three children next door are abandoned by their mother, Ivy and Nick take them
in for the night. One night becomes several, and suddenly Ivy and Nick find
themselves foster parents to the only African-American kids in the town of
Copper Cove, Maine. As Ivy grows more attached to the children, Nick refuses to
accept their eclectic household as a permanent family. Just as Ivy begins to
question whether or not she wants to save her emotionally barren marriage, Nick
begins to discover how much Ivy and the children mean to him. But is his change
of heart too little, too late?
All Right
Here
wonderfully opens Carre Armstrong Gardner’s Darling Family series. Filled with
a great and diverse cast of characters, covering a complex variety of
situations and emotions, the story is beautifully and dramatically told and
kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. I really enjoyed All
Right Here and cannot wait to come back to the Darlings in future novels. I
would certainly recommend this novel for fans of contemporary fiction - it’s an
all-around entertaining and uplifting read.
Thanks to Tyndale House and NetGalley, I received a
copy of All Right Here and the opportunity to provide an honest review.
I was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions I have
expressed are my own.
