Janey Johnson Series
When her Connecticut father suffers a stroke Janie takes over the family accounts. She discovers that he had secretly been sending Hannah money. Bent on revenge Janie plans to travel to Boulder, Colorado and find her. Reeve and Brian come too to try and keep her out of trouble. Another twist is that Stephen is studying in Boulder and may be dragged into the struglle - the last thing he wants. If Janie finds Hannah will it be the final blow to these already suffering families? To tell the truth, this book feels as though the author is just trying to prolong the series to satisfy fans who want more, without giving them anything of substance. Did we really know anything at thr end of this book we didn't know before? She seems determined not to reveal anything about Hannah, even though we're desperate to know. Perhaps it is a good thing she has pulled the plug once and for all on this series. |
