I Carry Your Heart

Spice Level: 🌶🌶

A story of undying love, the sacrifices we make for those we love, and the unbreakable strength of family.

I Carry Your Heart

After her grandmother passed away, an unusual clause in her will directed granddaughter Krista to discover a secret hidden for six decades; a secret of passion so strong it would change all of their lives and forever change what Krista and her family thought they knew about the family matriarch.

Yet knowing the truth and deciding what to do with that knowledge were two different things and as her own love affair with a childhood friend is just beginning to blossom, Krista struggles to make sense of what she has learned about the grandmother she loved and more importantly, how to share her newfound knowledge with the rest of the family. Would the already fragile family dynamics with her own mother survive the truth or would the secret love affair that had been protected for so long tear them apart?

…a beautiful dual-timeline story of star-crossed lovers and the difficult decisions they had to make. Barbara A. Luker will break your heart in the best way. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the characters since finishing the story. I’m looking forward to reading more of Luker’s writing (with a box of tissues nearby).

…a dramatic story about love, secrets, and the long-reaching consequences of our choices. …I was thoroughly invested in finding out how her story ended. The author deftly illustrates the idea that while we can’t change the past, we can do our best as we keep moving forward. I’d hand this book off to fans of Elin Hilderbrand or Kristin Hannah.
