TUESDAY REVIEWS-DAY – MINI BOOK REVIEW BLITZ – ECHOES FROM A MISSING GENERATION by CHRISTINA SUZANN NELSON

 

THE BOOK

 

THE BLURB

A decades-old disappearance. A woman determined to uncover the truth. A family’s past buried deep in the shadows of the Vietnam War.

 

In Echoes from a Missing Generation, a gripping split-time novel, the mysteries of the past ripple into the present—where truth, love, and legacy collide.

In 1970, Bristol Danes vanishes on the day he’s called up for the Vietnam War draft. His young wife, Clara, is left behind in the small Oregon town of Oscar’s Creek with unanswered questions and a lifetime of silence. Rumors swirl, secrets grow, and a recent local murder casts a long, chilling shadow.

Now, fifty years later, Kenzie Danes—a determined court reporter and Bristol’s granddaughter—has one mission: to uncover what really happened to the grandfather she never knew. With the help of Frank, a seasoned investigator with ties to the town, Kenzie begins unraveling a web of long-held secrets. But the truth is buried deep, and someone may still be willing to do anything to keep it hidden.

Set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War era and modern-day small-town Oregon, Echoes from a Missing Generation is a powerful novel of hidden histories, generational impact, and the courage it takes to find the truth.

 

THE AUTHOR

Christina Suzann Nelson in an inspirational speaker and the award-winning author. Her first novel, If We Make It Home, was honored as one of Library Journal’s top five inspirational novels of 2017.

In 2017, Christina was named the OCW Cascade’s Writer of Promise and received a Cascade award for her novel, Swimming in the Deep End.

Her stories have been published in the Cup of Comfort for a Better World, Cup of Comfort for Adoptive Families, as well as other publications.

Christina is over the top about her passions, including the stories created somewhere in the twists and turns of her less-than-focused brain. When she’s not writing, Christina serves on the board of the non-profit, Every Child Linn-Benton, where she has the opportunity to influence the lives of families and children in the foster care system.

On a typical day, she chases escaped farm animals, reads, hikes with her dog, and enjoys her husband and six kids.

 

 

MY REVIEW

I do love a good dual timeline story. And master storyteller, Christina Suzann Nelson, gives the reader a story that won’t leave you alone.

I loved Kenzie’s determination, I loved her for following her heart in discovering the truth. My heart hurt for Clara, though, living with the disappearance of her husband and no answers on what happened to him.

Ms. Nelson never disappoints. Her stories are compelling and meaty, heavy with substance. She is an author I’ll always read.
