LOVE, ALICE by Barbara Davis: Book Review

It’s rare to find an author that can captivate you with her stories book after book. Barbara Davis has the ability to do just that and she shows it in her newest release, Love, Alice that I was able to review. Here are my thoughts.

Love, Alice by Barbara Davis

The truth lies between the lines…

A year ago, Dovie Larkin’s life was shattered when her fiancé committed suicide just weeks before their wedding. Now, plagued by guilt, she has become a fixture at the cemetery where William is buried, visiting his grave daily, waiting for answers she knows will never come.

Then one day, she sees an old woman whose grief mirrors her own. Fascinated, she watches the woman leave a letter on a nearby grave. Dovie ignores her conscience and reads the letter—a mother’s plea for forgiveness to her dead daughter—and immediately needs to know the rest of the story.

As she delves deeper, a collection of letters from the cemetery’s lost and found begins to unravel a decades-old mystery involving one of Charleston’s wealthiest families. But even as Dovie seeks to answer questions about another woman’s past—questions filled with deception, betrayal, and heartbreaking loss—she starts to discover the keys to love, forgiveness, and finally embracing the future…

Review of Love, Alice by Barbara Davis

This is the third book that I’ve been able to read by this author and so it was with great anticipation that I dived into this read. The author has the ability to captivate you with a combination of history, mystery, and life itself.

Love, Alice is about the hunt to find the truth behind an emotional story. The author takes a look at the fate of a child back when being a single parent was not acceptable.

Told through letters from the past and those looking for the truth today, you are taken on a trip of heart ache, secrets, and a variety of emotions as you devour this story. With the characters looking to heal their hearts and find some peace from the pain and questions they are all suffering from, the journey through this book is a delicate balance and soul searching.

Barbara Davis has a knack for creating complex characters and telling deeply personal stories that you simply cannot put down. The story is unique and will touch you in ways that will stay with you long after the cover is closed.

This is definitely an investment of quality time to grasp the rich story that gives you peace and healing along the way. Barbara Davis offers us a wonderful gift in yet another amazing read.
