Relationships are hard to
restore. In this story the relationship between father and daughter was
shattered. Our main character Marisa is finding it hard not only to forget, but
also to forgive. Let’s look in deeper to the heart of Firefly Valley.
Love is hard to find when
you’re heart is closed off. I know from experience, and from what I read in
this book. Marisa could never seem to forgive her father for deserting her and
her mother, spending countless time and resources trying to find him. She never
wanted to return home to the painful memories of the past, but when the company
she works for is downsized she has no choice in the matter.
Amanda Cabot set very
realistic characters into Rainbow’s end in the Hill country of Texas. I found
them very relatable, from the hot-tempered Marisa to the quick to flee Blake
Kendall. I did feel it was a little rushed around, but I think that comes from
starting on book two of the series. I felt like I should have known some
characters, but it wasn’t too bad. I do recommend reading Amanda Cabot’s first
book to the series Bluebonnet Lake.
I found one of the characters
in this book extremely admirable; Blake Kendall’s father. Even when Blake’s
grandfather went on tirade after tirade, but still he was gentle, calm, and respectful
of his father. I remember a verse that says to honor thy father and thy morther, That is what
Blake’s father expressed and I aspire to be able to do with our Lord’s help.
In the end In Firefly Valley was a wonderful book,
and I very much look forward to reading Bluebonnet
Lake and the next book in the trilogy On
Lone Star trail in 2016
That’s it for now. May you
have a blessed day
