Three lives are bound by a single book . . . and the cleansing waters of Molasses Creek.
Having traveled to the ends of the earth as a flight attendant, Ally Green has finally returned to the Lowcountry to bury her father as well as the past. But Vesey Washington is still living across the creek, and theirs is a complicated relationship—he was once her best friend . . . and also part of the reason she’s stayed away so long. When Ally discovers a message her father left behind asking her to quit running, it seems her past isn’t through with her yet.
As Ally’s wandering spirit wrestles with a deep longing to flee again, a young woman on the other side of the world escapes her life of slavery in the rock quarries of Nepal. A mysterious sketchbook leads Sunila Kunari to believe there’s more to her story than she’s ever been told, and she’s determined to follow the truth wherever it leads her.
A deep current intertwines the lives of these three souls, and a destiny of freedom, faith, and friendship awaits them all on the banks of Molasses Creek.My Review
I have mixed reviews about this book. I really did want to love it, but I had the hardest time getting through it! The characters of Molasses Creek were lovely, vibrant and entertaining. And while I thought they were a memorable bunch, they didn't finish the novel as such. Perhaps that was the biggest problem for me, the ending. It didn't make sense and frankly was out of character for many of those involved. But at least I finished it, which didn't seem likely in the beginning. Overall I though Seitz's writing style was nice, but not enthralling. It was simply lacking in a way I cannot explain. A solid three stars for me.
