Enemies of Doves by Shanessa Gluhm – Review by La Toya Lewis

Enemies of Doves by Shanessa Gluhm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Thirteen years after Joel Fitchett wanders into a diner in East Texas carrying his younger brother Clancy, both badly beaten, they both suffer from the aftershocks. They have made a promise to each other to hide the truth of what went on. Later, in 1991 Garrison Stark finds his way to Texas, chasing a rumor that Clancy is his biological grandfather. He is looking for a family but stumbles into a web of 60 years of lies that involve both Joel and Clancy along with a woman named Lorraine whom they both loved. The author masterfully weaves a story with alternating timelines that manage to hook you in from the first page. The characters are all complex and wonderfully written. The plot is intriguing. There are a lot of twists and turns and the story has you in tears. You cannot help but feel for these characters. This is a very well-written, page-turner of a story.
