A tragedy from the past brought them together, but will old secrets destroy any chance of a future?
When aggressive television network news producer, Elle McCord, is assigned to Iraq at the beginning of the Gulf War, she feels her career is beginning to take off. But when her mother informs her that her elderly and ill aunt is about to give away the family farm to a mysterious stranger, Elle takes a detour to try and stop the man who is at the heart of it all. On the rural Pennsylvania farm, Elle’s horrific childhood memories surface, and what she learns about the mysterious stranger who is swindling her aunt is nothing like what she expected. Elle finally leaves for Iraq, but when she arrives, she meets Faiza, her translator, who teaches her about the sacrifices of family and love and what home really means.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Unexpected twists and one really creepy turn." Debbie Worten, KUTV


"Expertly told story about this crazy news business is a story about us all." Alex Cabrero, KSL TV


"Riveting! A real page turner!" Tracie Potts, NBC News


"From Washington, DC, to the streets of Baghdad, to a Pennsylvania farm, a story-driven journalist discovers herself crossing personal and professional boundaries--boundaries she thought she had buried with her nightmare-causing past. What a ride!" Todd Blackinton, KPVI TV, Idaho


"Hooked from the very sentence! I was fascinated with the dichotomy with Elle's life; her drive to find the real story juxtaposed with discovering her own 'real' story. I not only related to Elle as a journalist, but as a woman. This is a fantastic book club book. Everyone should grab a glass of 'chilled' red wine and read it." Mary Sturgill, KBMT TV, Texas

5.0 out of 5 stars Adventure and Romance in One
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2011

The write- up was enticing, so I read it. This novel has the same speed and character development as Stanley's I Am Nuchu, although it's not YA. The story starts simply enough, then builds to break-neck speed when investigative reporter and heroine, Elle McCord, goes to Iraq to cover the eve of the Gulf War. It's a great study in the science of repressed memories and how they can impact a person's life, a lesson Elle learns almost too late. There's a really nice love story in this, too, mixed with dark family secrets that almost destroy it.

With some caution, this is a story all family members can enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing love story with a twist
Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2011

This book was like taking a romantic vacation! So many unexpected twists and turns! I enjoyed Elle's drive, tenacity and adventurous lifestyle. Yet her character was still easy to relate with, very compassionate with all the classic feminine traits. And of course her romantic interest Rory, is a guy every woman would not be able to resist! The story was fun and easy, I couldn't stop reading, always wanting to see what was going to happen next. But then I'm always a sucker for a good love story!

A really enjoyable book. "Like Ravens in Winter" has everything I like in a good read, interesting characters, conflict, love, suspense, twists and turns. Elle, the main character, is a strong but vulnerable women, someone I would like to know. I couldn't put it down from the start and found it compelling and exciting to the end.
I am looking forward to reading more from this author.

I love the characters in this book and the way the story played out. I started it in the early afternoon and had it finished before I went to bed because I couldn't put it down! A very fun romance with a little action. I also liked that it was clean and something I can pass on to my teenage daughter!

5.0 out of 5 stars Skillfully told, A must read!!
Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2019
Could not stop until the end, A page-turner from the very first page. Brenda is an amazing storyteller, this one will keep you riveted to your seat. A very surprising twist towards the end and a hair raising nightmare that will keep you guessing. When I started the book I could not put it down till the end.
