Publisher's summary

Mysteries, family secrets, and the love of a true Father are found at the heart of this gripping novel from the best-selling author of Bringing Maggie Home

Newlyweds Sean Eagle and Meghan DeFord are no strangers to pain and loss. As cold-case detectives, they know intimately the anguish family members endure after the murder or disappearance of a loved one. But when a new case hits too close to home, it threatens to pull loose the fragile cords of their young marriage.

Sheila Menke was just a girl when her father left for work and never returned. An investigation revealed he had embezzled enough to start a new life elsewhere, but Sheila could never accept the court's criminalization of her father. Meghan reluctantly takes the case, secretly fearing it will stir up buried feelings about her own biological father. And while Sean investigates the mysterious death of two young brothers, he longs to start a family. But Meghan worries that with a negligent mother and an absentee father as her parenting examples, she might never be fit for motherhood.

As they delve deeper into the past, both Meghan and Sheila must choose to either stumble along the road of bitterness and resentment or walk the difficult path toward forgiveness and healing. When the cases begin to break wide open, these young women are poised to discover that while earthly fathers may fail, there is one in heaven who is a father to the fatherless.

good listen

this was a Good story. I liked it but not as much as the first one. I don't really like rushed ending but over all it was a good story to listen to while getting my work done.
As for the Narrator, I liked her better in the first one as well. The baby talk of grown women kind of got to me. Not enough to stop listening though.

family

I really enjoyed this story with the mystery and drama. I do wish the pronunciation of Nevada would have been correct. The mispronounced name was a distraction. As one who has lived in states bordering Nevada all my life I know how we cringe at this error.
I especially love the way God works everything to the good. The author is talented and I will listen to everyone of her writings.

Stop the baby talk for adult women!

It’s nice to find an author who intertwines a good mystery with sharing her Christian faith. The story would have been better had the rushed ending been an epilogue and addressed the outcome for the “bad guy”. My problem with the narrator was the baby talk for adult women. There is no excuse for this demeaning behavior in this day and time, especially from another woman. I have three stars because other than this not-so-small error in judgement, the narrator did a great job.

Great Listen


Unveiling the Past (Audio-book)
by Kim Vogel Sawyer

A wonderful follow up to "Bringing Maggie Home." Generations that follow have their own thoughts about family, careers and much more. I love seeing how all things come together. Kim Vogel Sawyer shares faith with her characters and readers.

The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed by Barbara McCulloh.
