Shades of Honor
Going back to where you came from is sometimes the hardest thing to
do. Radford Grayson does just that in this story of returning to your
roots and facing your past. He brings with him his four year old
motherless, fearful daughter Rebecca. Radford comes home to Fredonia,
New York in 1870 after years of staying away- 1st during the war and
then trying to fight his post war memories. He comes back home to his
three brothers Kyle, Boyd and Duke to help run the family sawmill. Kyle
harbours strong feelings against Radford walking back in to the family
business and instead convinces Radford to help run the town livery owned
by Evelyn Tucker( Kyles fiancee) and her ailing father. From there it's an emotional story about Radford fighting for inner
peace, embracing love, forgiveness and accepting his past while moving
forth with his life. Throughout the story Radford attempts to remain
loyal to his family and protect and shelter his emotionally scarred
daughter. The story showcases the emotional battle that all the main
characters must overcome while bringing a divided family back together.
Review- I enjoyed the well written story. I appreciate that the
author focused on many characters in the book and their many states of
emotion and turmoil. It was an easy read for an adult based audience
with very mild intimate personal scenes. The book ended well and
although the ending was predictable, enjoyable none the less.

I just spotted this book on my shelf the other day. I read it many years ago and remember it being a great read!
