Exceeding Expectations
By Lisa April Smith
There are only two things that mean
anything to Jack Morgan, his daughters, and in order to protect them he must
fake his own suicide. His youngest daughter Charlotte is twenty three and after
years of having her every whim tended to
by her father when he dies and leaves her penniless she has no idea what
she is going to do. With her older sister in a “clinic” due to having a mental
breakdown after the news of her father’s suicide Charlotte knows she must do something
to make money, after a suggestion from a friendly lawyer she tries her hand at
modeling soon she finds the independence she craves all the while she
investigates why her father had to take his own life uncovering disturbing
things along the way.
Lisa April Smith does a wonderful job
not only with capturing the nineteen sixties vividly yet subtly but also in
enveloping not one but two beautiful romances with glimpses back to pre- World
War Two encompassing the love Charlotte’s mother and father found in each
other. Even though there is a splendid
romance between Charlotte and Raul this story was more about Charlotte and the
pain she must overcome after losing her father and then finding a way to
support herself and become independent all while searching for answers it is so
well written, you find yourself easily lost in the story. I don’t usually
compare authors to one another but I must say, Look out Danielle Steel it seems
you have some competition for writing intriguing dramatic novels.
