Vogel Sawyer explores the impact of fatherlessness, both when the
father is absent and when he is only present by location but not in
spirit. She also explores the difference it makes for those who know
God as Father. The theme of forgiveness is essential to the story of
Unveiling the Past,
without it one cannot easily move forward after the past has been
unveiled. Sawyer treats these themes with the grace and sensitivity
they deserve and require. Both her talent and her heart shine in
this, her latest, novel.
Unveiling the Past
is made up of three, well managed, story lines. In one Meghan DeFord
Eagle is separated from Sean, her partner in the Arkansas Cold Case
Investigations Department and her husband, in order to pursue a case
of a missing father while also contemplating contacting her own
father whom she has never met. In the second Sean is partnered with
Tom Farber, a very difficult person to get along with who is fighting
his own demons, to continue the case he and Meghan had begun in the
search for the killer of eight-year-old twin boys. Finally Meghan's
mother must come to terms with her own feelings about the man who
abandoned her before Meghan was born now that his coming back into
their lives is a very real possibility.
I
am very grateful to have received a copy of this book from Multnomah
in exchange for my honest opinion. I was under no obligation to
provide a positive review, and received no monetary compensation.
