MENDING FENCES brings to life the true experiences of many
young women concerning date rape and how it affects families.
Two families who have spent ten years raising their kids
together are now caught in a situation where one child is
accused of rape and another child is one of his victims. One
mother tries to believe her child is innocent but deep down
she knows the truth. The other mother finds it hard to come
to terms with the reality that her daughter is also a victim.
When these truths become a reality it will put a strain on
their friendship. The best thing about this story is the
courage and strength of the young women and how they handle
everything that's thrown at them. I really admire how the
teenage daughters of the two mothers come forth and speak up.
Emily Dobbs and Marcie Carter have been best friends for ten
years, raised their kids together, taken family vacations
together and shared everything with each other. Now that
friendship is in jeopardy when Marcie's son has been accused
of rape. Marcie really wants to believe her son is innocent
but as time goes by when she sees his attitude she finds it
harder to believe him. Emily notices her daughter has been
acting strange and is afraid to admit or ask her what the
cause may be. When the truth is revealed it will be
devastating to both families.
The detective working the case becomes personally involved
with Emily and her family. He has a tragic past that draws
him to Emily's daughter and he is determined to get justice
for her. Marcie has basically kept her head in the sand her
entire marriage but finally opens her eyes when her daughter
speaks her mind.
Both of these families go through a really dark period. But
after all the turmoil they work toward making a better future
by finding a way to MEND FENCES by working through the past.
Devastating secrets tear two families apart in this
acclaimed novel from #1 New York Times
bestselling author Sherryl Woods
For ten years Emily Dobbs and Marcie Carter have been the
closest of friends. They've raised their kids together,
shared joy and heartache, exchanged neighborhood gossip over
tea. But when Marcie's son, now a college freshman sports
star, is arrested for date rape, the bond between the
families could be shattered forever.
As the Carters try to deal with the unthinkable, Emily
discovers her daughter has been hiding a terrible secret…a
secret that threatens the futures of both families. Recently
divorced, Emily struggles to keep it all together—to support
her terrified daughter, to maintain her friendship with
Evan's mother and to have faith in the detective who could
change all of their lives.
When things seem darkest, both she and Marcie discover that
sometimes the first step toward a better future is mending
fences with the past.
