Title of Book: Hidden Things Click on the title in order to purchase your copy or view product details. By Andrea Boeshaar “This can’t be Mom,” she murmured aloud. “March of 1969…?” Kylie quickly did the math. Her mother would have been nine months’ pregnant at the time. Kylie was born April 10, 1969. Why would her mother join a demonstration when she was expecting a baby any day? Andrea Boeshaar sets up such an intriguing mystery at the beginning of Hidden Things that you are hooked right along with Kylie who begins searching into her past and finds more questions that answers. Hidden Things is one of those books that take you on a ride. Not a wild ride, but a fun one. Open the pages and let yourself be pulled into Kylie’s conflicts and triumphs. Kylie receives a picture in the mail shortly after her mother’s death. It is a picture of four hippies, standing proudly behind a war protest sign. One of them is her very staid, proper mother, wearing a tie-dyed smock top, a beaded band around her forehead, her brown hair long and straight. The others are stranger. Even more mysterious is the realization that her mother doesn’t appear to be pregnant, only days before Kylie’s birth. Kylie begins to ask questions. She tracks down the sender of the picture. As she asks her questions she runs up against her fiancé, the man of her dreams. He demands she give up her search. She is so used to acting to please him that it rocks their entire relationship when she stands up to him. As her quest pulls at the threads of their love, she begins to question her present as much as her past. She also begins to question God and explore what has been a life of routine Christianity but maybe not true faith. I emailed Andrea Boeshaar about the review I was writing. She has emailed me several times about the book. When I told her how much I loved it and the late night I stayed up reading it, she replied, “I LOVE keeping my readers up all night.” Andrea said, “I believe God uses the hidden thing of life to bring us closer to Him’, which is a quote from the preface of her novel. She also must be younger than me because she asked me for some hippie talk, which I thought was a very groovy of her. Hidden Things is the second book in a three book series called Faded Photographs. The next book of the series, Precious Things, will be out in the spring. I definitely rate Hidden Things a Sleep Robber. |
