Ashea Goldson has written a very interesting story of secrets, family, and faith in The Lovechild. Makaeli is a successful fashion designer who lives in Italy. As she struggled to decide whether to accept her boyfriend’s wedding proposal, she received a call from her sister, Lisa, with tragic news and she must go home. Makaeli had not been in the States for six years and dreads having to return. In a week, Makaeli’s world turned upside down. She had to face her mother, who suffered a breakdown; a brother, whom she believed abandoned her; a controlling sister and another sister that abused her. Makaeli learned secrets that kept her family apart; yet, she watched as they struggled to stay together. After a visit from a long time friend, she learned to forgive unconditionally and to make amends with her family.
Goldson’s story was a page-turner and a pleasure to read. The reader will cry and yell along with Makaeli as she discovers the secrets that pulled her family apart. Goldson did a wonderful job of inserting biblical scriptures to make the reader think and draw their own conclusions. Once I started the book I could not put it down. This book is highly recommended for everyone.
