Fresh Fiction Review

Weddings In The Family
Tessa McDermid

Reviewed by Sandi Shilhanek
Posted June 22, 2009

Romance Series | Women's Fiction Contemporary | Romance

With her newest book, WEDDINGS IN THE FAMILY author Tessa McDermid takes readers into the private relationship between a husband and his wife. Ms. McDermid tells the majority of the story from Caroline's point of view, but never fails to be sure that readers know and understand her husband's viewpoint as well.

It starts with Caroline and her husband Nick meeting in what Caroline thinks is an accident, and ends with their youngest child getting married and beginning to embark on her own adventure.

It's the wedding that has Caroline reflecting back on her life, and her fear of people moving out of her life. As a youngster Caroline had to move a lot and as such was always the new person in town, and truly unable to put down the roots which now are so important to her. With her daughter getting married is yet another person leaving her life, or is there yet more life to live with her husband, and perhaps her growing family.

Ms. McDermid wrote a book that truly touched my heart, and as I finished the story I had tears in my eyes making it hard to finish. As I read I truly didn't think that one relationship was left untouched, from Caroline and her mother, to Caroline and her father, to Caroline and her best friend. Each thread was woven so tightly together that I had trouble setting the book aside.

From what I can quickly tell Ms McDermid has only written two books, and I for one hope there are many more to come.

SUMMARY

Caroline Eddington faces a difficult decision. On the eve of her daughter's wedding, Caroline admits that her marriage to Nick could be over. The timing couldn't be worse, yet with an empty nest looming their problems seem bigger than ever.

Still, something holds her back—something as simple as love. Remembering their own vows, their hope, Caroline knows Nick's been there through the good and the bad. But is that enough? Or have they grown so far apart, love alone can't bring them together again?
