Changing Identities!
What would you do if you discovered someone had stolen your identity and had lived a comfortable life imitating you? This is what war widow Audrey discovers when she comes to America to live with her husband’s family. Not only has this individual built a close relationship with Audrey’s in-laws, the person doing it is her friend Eve.
Although best friends since childhood, the two had lived very different lives in England. Audrey had a life of privilege with every material thing, except her parent’s love. Eve was well-loved, however, both she and her mother worked as servants in Audrey’s home. Besides betrayal and shock, the two women must come to terms with what to do about the situation.
Is it ever okay to lie, or can it be justified if it doesn’t seem to hurt anyone? What if it will help change a desperate situation? Can the truth come out without destroying everything? If you could, would you change identities?
Exploring the “what if’s” of a situation like this made for a very interesting story line. It kept me glued to the pages to find out what happened. This tale is told against the backdrop of WWII. Besides all the scary things that happened then, the war forever changed the lives of people like Audrey and Eve. The faith-journey the women took both towards and away from God was realistic and added to the tale. I recommend this 5-star book to those who enjoy stories that take place during WWII or of friend relationships.
