The Cradle Tells All!

Friends, Jillian and Kris, are overwhelmed when a stranger, Tucker, plunks down hundreds of dollars to pay for Kris’ skis.  The entire Colorado skiing town of Canyon Mines, is amazed by the arrival of the rash spending, fast driving and reckless skiing, Tucker.  Even more shocking is his announcement that he intends to ski Hidden Run.  This dangerous place was rarely used years ago when it was open—and is even more treacherous now.

Kris is so smitten by Tucker, she seems ready to throw caution to the wind, and ski the dangerous run, too.  While concerned people try to stop this, more mystery surfaces.  As Jillian uses her genealogy skills to uncover questionable things about Tucker, another surprise comes with the arrival of an unexpected person.

Will Tucker stubbornly refuse to ski safely, and kill himself or others?  What was the grandfather hiding all those years that has affected Tucker?  What is the secret between Jillian’s dad and uncle that has kept them at odds for decades?

Unforeseen twists and turns, made this story exciting, and attention grabbing.  The genealogy results made the book even more interesting.  The characters face real-life problems, including wondering how God fits into it all—along with some possible answers.  This story stands alone even though it is the second in the series, Tree of Life.  I recommend this well-written, 5-star book to anyone who has ever been shocked by something in their family or struggled with a relationship.
