De: Colleen Coble

Narrado por: Devon O'day

Suspense, romance, and generational secrets meld when a DNA test helps Harper Taylor locate the family she’s always longed for...but has it also put her in the crosshairs of a killer?

Harper Taylor is used to being alone - after all, she grew up in one foster home after another. Oliver Jackson finally took her under his wing when she was a runaway teenager, and now Harper pours her marine biology knowledge into Oliver’s pen shell research. But she’s never stopped wishing for a family of her own. So when a DNA test reveals a half-sister living just two hours away, Harper is both hopeful and nervous. Over warm cinnamon rolls, Harper and Annabelle find striking similarities in their stories. Is it just a coincidence that both their mothers died tragically, without revealing Harper and Annabelle’s father’s name?

Oliver’s son Ridge still sees Harper as a troubled teen even all these years later. But when Oliver is attacked, Ridge and Harper find themselves working together to uncover dangerous secrets that threaten to destroy them all. They must unravel her past before they can have any hope for the future. Strands of Harper Taylor’s childhood are resurfacing - but will the truth save her...or pull her under? Suspense, romance, and generational secrets meld in this engrossing new novel from USA Today best-selling author Colleen Coble.

Good story

I liked the story, the history of Tampa Bat was a bonus. The Christian lessons were also enjoyable to hear.

loved this

loved this book! kept me guessing till the end! True drama like all her books.

Strand of Truth

Mystery, suspense, Florida waters and love. What more can one want. An easy read. Enjoy.

Characters were frustrating

Overall the book was good. But the characters were frustrating in the sense that there seemed to be a lack of urgency and common sense. it could have been the reader for the book though; I'm not sure if I would have had the same impression if I read it myself vs. listen in to it.

“Family Ties”

JWright
Colleen Coble draws us into the story with the first chapter. She also uses a frame story technique which helps develop the plot. The pieces of the puzzle do not begin to come together until the last few chapters. The reader does an excellent job in her presentation.
I think this story is worth a listen.

good

took me a while, but once I got started and past the first couple of chapters - basically the setup, this book was great.

Surprising connections

A DNA test leads to disaster for a woman seeking her father. Along the way she finds an unknown sibling, love with a former foe, the death of her mentor, and a father who is less than honorable.

Great Characters in a Fast Moving Story I Couldn’t Put Down!

Colleen Coble consistently developes memorable characters you’ll remember long after the pages are finished and the story’s completed. You’ll be right there with them, wondering how Strands of Truth could have ended so quickly. For me, I hope for a sequel. In this fascinating story line you find two grown, successful women who were both raised in foster homes after their individual mothers were murdered soon after their births. While searching for their birth fathers DNA matches indicate they are half sisters, so that meet. But some one else is lying in wait looking for them, too!But the latter searches with more sinister plans. It is a fast-past page-turner! I highly recommend!

One of the best books ever

Loved Strands of Truth this was a heart warming story of love and mystery. I love a good mystery.

Good Story

Narrator sounds like she is reading a children’s book. The Night Before Christmas came to mind.
