Mary is a young artist about to enter a new chapter in her life. After years of waiting and searching, she has finally found true love. She’s also just discovered that her fiancé Joshua has inherited his father’s rundown countryside mansion. To add to the rising pressure, her wedding day is so close she can practically hear the music. All she has to do is accept what the future holds. Accept…and be happy.
But something’s missing.
As the seasons change, her doubts turn to fears, and her fears become reality. Through struggle and loss, the love she once possessed for Joshua transforms into contempt. When Mary is confronted with a magical escape, the life she has and the life she dreams of will collide, awakening a mysterious change within. But no choice comes without cost, and each one will draw her closer to the truth.
At times both beautiful and haunting, Winter Sparrow dares you to step into a world where eternity is a moment and every breath is a second chance. The fantasy begins…. "I'll grow wings all by myself."
Everyone kept telling me how good this book was and I was anxious to find out for myself. I was not disappointed. Mary and Joshua are in love and engaged to be married. Right away we are thrown into the story with Mary having doubts about everything. She goes through the motions, marrying Joshua and moving into the house he has inherited.
Without giving spoilers, this story is a true page turner even though it is a bit on the depressing side at time. The author did a wonderful job creating his characters and the trials and tribulations the couple must face as newlyweds. Then something terrible happens, a surprising twist to the story that keeps you glued to the story line to find out what will happen.
I usually don't rate on half scale marks, but have to give this story a 4.5 out of five stars.
