I'm a total fan of Vanessa Grant's love stories, so was enthralled by her latest book, Lifelines: Kate's Story, a longer Women's Fiction title. In it Grant explores the multiple layers of emotion of a newly widowed woman and her family. The main character, Kate, a mother, daughter, new widow and lover, heals from the losses life throws at her while regaining the essence of who she once was and who she needs to be in the future. Helped by her dog Socrates (who is as wise as he is protective) Kate strives to keep the people she loves safe and in so doing faces her own fears. She combats the emotional and physical danger in this story with strength, wisdom and determination. Grant's fast paced writing and intriguing plot kept me on the edge of my seat.
