American journalist Serena Stone has followed in her dad’s
footsteps being a front line was photographer.
She chooses to leave the front lines when her father dies unexpectedly
of a heart attack. Serena finds out her
former boyfriend and fellow was photographer, Zac, has returned from the front
lines and is struggling with PTSD and is asking for her. In heading to help him she knows that her
life will never be the same.
Secrets from the Past is a captivating story in which every
character jumps right off the page and becomes real. Serena is the main character but I loved
Harry. As Serena’s dad’s best friend
since childhood, he has stepped into the role of “father” and protects and
nutures Serena and her sisters. I loved
that he let Serena live her life, but still managed to guide her in the right
direction. He was also the keeper of
secrets and knew when it was time to share and when to step back and let things
go unsaid.
Zac and Serena’s relationship would be described as true
love. The turbulence side of their
relationship troubled me. To know that
Zac, even before PTSD, has a tendancy to yell and scream at Serena when mad
scares me. I understood that they were “it”
for each other and truly enjoyed their relationship when it was good and
healthy.
This is an emotional book with secrets, betrayal,
redemption, and love. You will not be
able to put this story down. I highly
recommend it
