When former children's-program star Jenna is invited to star in a special TV documentary about her family lineage, she decides it would be good for exposure but doesn't seem to think that anything interesting will come of it. Needless to say, by the end she is proven very wrong!This story encompasses three time periods: 17th century, 19th century, and present day. At first this seems like three different stories with no relation to each other. You are left kind of wondering how it all ties together but Wheatley does an excellent job of writing in so intriguing a manner that you continue reading because you know that the end will satisfy. As the threads are woven together, a final picture is created that will surprise the reader. The twists in the end and how the characters from each time period end up will astound, and the intricate weaving of each story into the other will leave you breathless.John Wheatley's 'The Weeping Sands' is a winner for sure!
