Book review - The Twelfth Child

The Twelfth Child

I was honored by the author to be asked to read and review this book.  Thank you, Ms. Crosby!

Publisher summary:  Trust, love and friendship—Abigail Anne Lannigan searched for these things all her life; now, when she is at the tail end of her years she teams up with a free-spirited young woman, a nobody from nowhere, who suddenly moves in across the street.

It’s an unlikely friendship which comes under suspicion when a distant relative, claims embezzlement. One million dollars is missing and only Abigail knows the truth of what happened – but, she’ll never get the chance to tell.

The Twelfth Child, a novel rich with emotion, humor and tenderness, explores the splintered relationships of a Shenandoah Valley family and their willful daughter’s struggle to survive America’s Great Depression and overcome the past.

My summary:  Wow! What a great read! Fantastic, lovable characters, an interesting and entertaining storyline. Abigail Anne is a strong woman and a character I think female readers, especially, will like. I recommend you read this! Especially if you enjoy southern fiction.
I give this:  4 out of 5 stars
