Winter in Full Bloom by Anita Higman

Life for Lily has changed so drastically in the last few years. First the death of her husband, then her daughter moves away to college. Now her mother tells her that she has a twin sister in Australia?

Lily's relationship with her mother is strained to say the least. They have never been a close knit family, and Lily's mother always had abusive tendencies in her relationship with Lily. Now that Lily is a grown woman, her mother admits a secret that she has been holding for 40 years. Lily has an identical twin sister. The how's and why's are not explained. Her mother refuses to speak of it anymore. So Lily is forced to take matters into her own hands and search out her lost sister. The only information she has is a city and the name of a church in Australia. Will it be enough to find her?

Winter in Full Bloom is a lovely story of love, forgiveness and family relationships. I was hooked from the very first page! I would love to see a book like this be made into a movie. The characters, the story line, and the spiritual elements are all excellent. I rate this book as 5 stars and would definitely recommend it to others who love a good Christian novel!

I received this book for free through Litfuse to give my honest unbiased opinion!
