This author came to my attention when her book “Wreckage” kept popping up as a suggestion for “stranded/castaway” favorite list (and I LOVE that trope).
While each book in this “series” can be read as a standalone, they all appear to be emotional-dramas and I LOVE those too!
JulieO: Just saw WRECKAGE and remembered how good it was. Think a re-read is in order.
About book #1:
Ellie Brown thought sheβd finally escaped her stifling hometown of Broadlands, Illinois; med school was supposed to be her ticket out. But when her father has a stroke, she must return home to share his care with her older sister, Amelia, whoβs busy with her own family. Working as a paramedic, Ellieβs days are monotonous, driving an ambulance through streets sheβd hoped never to see again.
Until a 911 dispatch changes everything. The address: her sisterβs house. Rushing to the scene, Ellie discovers that Amelia and her husband, Steve, have been shot in a home invasion. After Amelia is rushed to the hospital, Ellie tries to make sense of the tragedy. But what really happened inside her sisterβs house becomes less and less clear. As Amelia hangs on in critical condition, Ellie uncovers dark revelations about her familyβs past that challenge her beliefs about those closest to herβ¦and force her to question where her devotions truly lie.
