The Secret Keepers of Old Depot Grocery

The Secret Keepers of Old Depot Grocery
 by Amanda Cox
4 stars. Thank you to Revell, a division of Baker Publishing, for sending me this book to read and review. 
A story that shows how the secrets we keep definitely impact our lives and others. Three strong women share their story and secrets through the pages. Glory Ann, aka Nan to Sarah and mother to her daughters Rosemary and Jessamine, is where the story begins and the secrets start. Her high school love is enlisted in the army and goes to Vietnam. Shortly after he leaves he dies in battle and she comes to the realization she is pregnant with his child. Her parents pretty much disown her. I can’t give away too much but she is taken away and an arranged marriage is set up to save her parents face and Glory Ann only goes through with it to give her unborn child (Rosemary) the best life she can. 

I thought the story flowed very easily and I liked the way the author went back and forth between present day and the past to tell the story in full. 

This is my second read by Amanda Cox. Look forward to more by her in the future.
