Willow
DeBeers Series - Book 1
Growing up, Willow knew she was adopted. Her adopted mother, as she was to call her, made that fact quite clear. While she had happy memories with her father and her nanny, Amou, Willow always felt cheated in life. She was a product of rape. Her adoptive father, a world renowned psychiatrist, had a famous clinic in which she was named after. This is also where she was conceived.
Years later, her father passes and Willow receives his journal. This journal contains a shocking truth which sends Willow off to the ritzy town of Palm Beach, Florida to see if she can find her birth family. In the midst of all the glamour, she is swept off her feet by the charming Thatcher Eaton, but is constantly being pulled in numerous directions between where her roots are, and where her wings want to go.
A beautiful beginning to a charming series. A mature heroine, so there are new milestones the readers get to experience with this series, as oppose to the typical stories where our main characters are rather young and have coming of age milestones that they share with us readers.
A family set up, and torn down by lies and secrets. Unique characters and the attractive, ritzy setting of Palm Beach make for a thrilling ride. This series is one of my personal favourites. I love how strong Willow is. I love the dark shadows lurking in the corners of her past, present and future. I love the story of how her father and mother came to be (and yes, we get more about them later on in the series). This story will have you reaching for the next book the second you're done!
