I can feel a trilogy percolating.
"In Places Hidden", by Tracie Peterson, tells of three young women who meet on their way to San Francisco. As fate would have it, they are each looking for a lost relative. Since they are all in similar situations, they decide to band together to aid one another in the search.This novel is the tale of Camri's search for her lost brother who is feared to be either shanghaied or murdered. It also includes a budding romance between Camri and a certain Irishman which will require Camri to let go of some of her prejudices.
It's hard to describe the plot of this book because it sort of seemed like nothing happened, nothing happened, and then Ta-Da! The End. All the action was packed into the last chapter or two and yet, it was enjoyable all the way through. Perhaps the best way to put it is to say it seems like this book was laying out all the background information needed for Book 2. But in an entertaining way. I think you'll find yourself cheering for the characters and coming away with a smile on your face.
I also appreciated the personality of the main character. She's opinionated and yet willing to admit when she's wrong. She is also determined yet willing to let another take the lead when it's the wise thing to do.
All in all, I'm looking forward to book #2.
