Although I am not a twin nor have I lost a sister tragically like the Thatcher sisters, I could easily identify with the strong personality differences and frequent conflicts between the sisters. Often poignant and heart-wrenching, the story slowly but surely led me through secrets long hidden and gradually coming painfully to light. Each character was so well defined that\u00a0 my heart ached for them and I was gratified to watch them each begin to work through their pain.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Things I Never Told You<\/strong><\/em> is somewhat different from other books I&#8217;ve read by this author &#8211; not the light contemporary romance I was expecting. Nevertheless it is an excellent novel that showcases the extremely talented Beth K. Vogt.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10857\" title=\"divider2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png 317w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2-150x28.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by Tyndale Blog Network.

No longer half of a pair, Payton reinvents herself as a partner in a successful party-planning business and is doing just fine\u2014as long as she manages to hold her memories and her family at arm\u2019s length.<\/p>\n<p>But with her middle sister Jillian\u2019s engagement, Payton\u2019s party-planning skills are called into action. Which means working alongside her opinionated oldest sister, Johanna, who always seems ready for a fight. They can only hope that a wedding might be just the occasion to heal the resentment and jealousy that divides them . . . until a frightening diagnosis threatens Jillian\u2019s plans and her future. As old wounds are reopened and the family faces the possibility of another tragedy, the Thatchers must decide if they will pull together or be driven further apart.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/files.tyndale.com\/thpdata\/firstChapters\/978-1-4964-2723-6.pdf?_ga=2.150270070.1196902414.1532312235-98301771.1495575185\">Read an excerpt HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-20507\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Beth-Vogt.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"166\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Beth-Vogt.jpg 166w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Beth-Vogt-119x150.jpg 119w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Beth-Vogt-150x190.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 166px) 100vw, 166px\" \/>Beth K.
