Autumn Blue: A Novel
Do you sometimes think that somebody has something against your child? If you are like most mothers, you only want to believe the best in your child. Sidney Walker is one of these mothers saying "Not my kid." She is having a hard enough time trying to raise her three children without her ex-husband's assistance. It’s not like she has no one to provide male influence on her 17-year-old son Tyson. Millard is mistaken for the teen's grandfather, but the mistaken identity seems to work out for the family's favor. He enjoys Wheel of Fortune but there are a lot of things he doesn't have a clue about, especially in the area of technology. Millard is a father himself and is dealing with his own family issues. Millard is a rather crotchety old character but he shows his softer side in the way he is always there for Sidney and Tyson. He even assists with Tyson being under house arrest. Is this the opportunity to have a better relationship with a juvenile and them both to learn something from each other? Alex meets Sidney while he is arresting Tyson on charges. He serves as Alex's escort to help get his community service time in. Is it purely for evidence that Alex keeps making investigations at Sidney's house? No matter how much Alex's opinion starts changing towards Alex and his mother, the evidence on other crimes in town point to Tyson. "Autumn Blue" is an excellent book about the small town of Ham Bone. You will easily find yourself taken by the characters in town. There is enough mystery to keep the reader's interest throughout the book. Karen Harter is very gifted with the way she portrays her characters. She brings the characters to life and you feel like you are witnessing the events of this book firsthand. She uses very descriptive words and images. "Autumn Blue" could easily be used for reading groups or made into a movie. There is a "Reading Group Guide" at the back of the book with questions for discussion. It is a great family drama and story of redemption and love making appearances in the most unlikely places. |
