Chase's Story (Grandma's Wedding Quilts Book 10)
by P. A. Estelle
The story covers a lot of things
from abuse, death, starting over, mail order bride, pain, sorrow, getting over
those we lost, dreams and making them come true, as well as finding your way
back. Chase isn’t letting anything stand in his way of owning his own farm,
much to the disappointment of his father. It does seem nothing can make this
man happy. It wasn’t always that way or so his mother told him. Once his father
was a fun loving, caring, and humorous man until something happened to change
his life. Chase doesn’t care it isn’t his fault he had nothing to do with it. The
best memories he had was when he stayed with his grandparents who showed him
true love as well as getting him hooked on ranching. The day he walked away
from his family was the best day of his life that is until he bought his own
ranch miles from them. Everything was going great for him until he rode right
into an ambush with a gun held to his head from a little bit of a women who
looked liked she had been beaten all most to death.
Molly needed help when her husband
up and died leaving her alone with nowhere to turn she became a mail order
bride only to find the man she was suppose to marry lied and was no good. She
went from a loving relationship to an abusive one. One day she had enough
running for her and her son’s life she had nothing to lose when she pulled a
gun on Chase.
Both Molly and Chase have family but
for one reason or the other they can’t go back home. This is a story about
forgiveness not only for others but our selves. A lot of pain must fall before
these two can work out their differences, along with their family. With Molly
at a safe place it doesn’t mean her and her son are safe. The attraction is
strong but Molly must think of her son first. Chase has worked so hard to get
what he has, will the man after Molly end his life as well as hers? Can they
forgive their families, ask for forgiveness for their selves and hope to find
peace with them? So many unanswered questions and so far to still go before a
HEA can be found.
The author gives you a wonderful
plot that pulls you in holding you on the edge with danger at times life and
death. Once one thing works out it looks like things might work out than
something else happens that could but a stop to them being a happy family. I
really love the family issues which makes this a believable story. You have
people just like us trying to get by making a life for their selves with family
ties that are not strong. Lots of misunderstandings which we hope time will
heal. I really liked how Granny came into the story along with her beloved
quilt. You get to know a little more of her story and the story of her quilts.
This is really a delightful clean read full of love, needs, wants and passion
of two people who really just want to find peace and a happy life.
The supporting characters are
wonderful they add so much to the story. Your heart goes out to each of these
people for one reason or another. You have some who thing they know it all only
to find when they get a little older they don’t know as much as they thought
they did. Others have a greater loss that drives them and their demons. It all
comes together very well with a wonderful plot that keeps you turning the
pages. There will be moments you will hold your breath and others you just
about want to cry for the pain and the reason it is there.
This was a book I could not put down
I looked at the clock it was 9 the next thing I know it was 11 and I still
could not put it down. It was a short night and a tiring day but I had a smile
on my face as the memories of this story stayed with me. I just loved this whole series and can’t wait
to read more of it learning about each family and how Granny comes into it. I
really fell in love with Grandma who is a delightful lady with fire. I had not
read anything by this author and can’t wait to read more of her work. This is one
author who knows how to entertain giving you a compelling read that makes you
smile, laugh and want to cry. I loved the ending where the whole story really
comes together.
