Amazon Review
Sara
Matchett is approaching her 50th birthday and thinks it’s time to
return home after being away for close to three decades. She realizes
that years ago she was a teenage drama queen. When hurt by her best
friends and sisters, she lashed out with bridge destroying letters and
then ran-away to marry an older man.
Now, with maturity to
bolster her confidence, Sara leaves the shelter of Tennessee to return
to her Southern California roots and make amends to the people she hurt.
Then
there’s Nate. Sara hid her teen pregnancy from everyone, but Nate. For
most of the gestation period, Nate was her support and watched her back.
When near term, she wished he were the father, which would have been a
good thing. Instead, she was drunk in her best friend’s boyfriend’s car.
True to his nature, Gavin took advantage of Sara’s inebriated condition
and raped her. When Melina was born, Sara gave her up for adoption and
left her hometown.
Jacqueline Diamond relates Sara’s story with
all the drama of Peyton Place, a 1960 era soap opera. In Going Home, at
Your Age? Book 3 of 3: Sisters, Lovers and Second Chances scandalous
secrets are exposed—rape, adultery, and the plethora of everyday
problems. Diamond introduces many characters from her other two books in
the series, but like all three novels, this can be read without
necessarily reading the others.
My biggest issue was recalling
each character’s relationship with Sara, but Diamond does an excellent
job of reminding her readers through descriptive prose. I found it hard
to put down Going Home, at Your Age? It’s a worthy investment for any
reader who understands the importance of family.
