"fascinating family drama"
In Silver Springs, Maryland, Abby Reed meets Connor Smith,
uncle to one of her students Jaye. The pair feels an
instant attraction and now believes in love at first
sight. Nothing could go wrong for this duo as they are
compatible and so much in love, a miracle for Connor whose
heart has been filled with hate for the past ten years However, as Abby and Connor continue to see one another,
they soon learn a tragic link ties their families
together; that connection caused Connor's bitterness. A
decade ago Abby's then teenage half-brother Drew Galloway
killed Connor's seventeen years old sibling J.D. Drew was
given twenty years with the possibility of parole after
ten. Drew is up for parole and Abby wants to be there for
her sibling who is not the monster that Connor believes he
is. Connor wants him to at least serve his full
sentence. Will love be enough to bring two people and two
families past a tragedy that haunts all of them or will
the past kill the future? A TIME TO FORGIVE is a fascinating family drama in which
the star-crossed lead couple argues over whether J.D. was
a paragon and Drew a monstrous cold blooded killer. Most
entreating is Connor's other family members, his mom, sis,
and niece, as the death of their blood has filled their
hearts with acrimony and thus no one has truly been there
for one another until Abby entered their lives. Fans of
complicated relationship tales will want to read Darlene
Gardner's fine tale as readers will wonder whether Connor
picks love or hate. Harriet Klausner
