Millicent Glenn's Last wish
by Tori Whitaker
A deeply moving and heartwarming story about 3 generations of women in one family. And a beautiful tribute to mother, daughter relationship.
Millie's 91st birthday is approaching, her daughter Jamie and her granddaughter Kelsey are back home. Millie thinks it's about time to come clean about some of her past secrets. Secrets that are keeping them apart and her last wish is, to be forgiven.
The story shifts between past and future (1950_2015) When Millie tells her story in flashbacks. Its characters are very well defined, the secondary characters enhance the story.
The novel portrays life challenges for women in 1950s. It made me emotional, and heartbroken wondering if my mother had to choose between her motherhood and career aspirations.
I enjoyed the storyline; the plot is perfectly written, and the details are vividly described. Tori Whitaker mastered describing motherly love, loss, relationship, and family.
