Things I Never Told You (The Thatcher Sisters)

by Beth Vogt

It's been ten years since Payton Thatcher's twin sister died in an accident. Payton has reinvented herself as a partner in a successful party-planning business and is doing just fine-- as long as she manages to hold her memories and her family at arm's length. With her middle sister Jillian's engagement, Payton's party-planning skills are called into action, which means working alongside her opinionated oldest sister, Johanna. When a frightening diagnosis threatens Jillian's future, old wounds are reopened and the family faces the possibility of another tragedy. Will they pull together or be driven further apart?

The truth will set you free

Payton and her identical twin Pepper had excelled on the volleyball court in high school. Both adored the sport and had plans to continue playing and coaching as adults. Until the tragic accident whichended Pepper's life at the tender age of sixteen. . .

Things I Never Told You is a powerful story that chronicles Payton's life a decade after the death of her twin. It deals with weighty matters such as guilt, grief, fear, and forgiveness.

My favorite character was Jillian's fiancé, Geof. His intense love for Jillian was amazing. The fact that he also had a corny sense of humor and a way of easing heavy situations didn't hurt at all. The way he handled Jillian's news and fears was so admirable and incredibly sweet!

I always love stories that share spiritual truths clearly and in a relatable fashion. Things I Never Told You does exactly that, as Payton is slowly drawn to a place where she questions what she knows about life and God.
