Finding Libbie by Deanna Lynn Sletten is
the story of one woman’s discovery that her father was married before her mom.
Through her grandmother’s tale, Emily Prentice learns the heartbreaking story
of her father, Jack, and his high school sweetheart, Libbie. Elizabeth “Libbie”
Wilkens is the daughter of the wealthy Wilkens family. They own half of the
town of Jamison, Minnesota. Jack Prentice is the son of a farmer who works part
time at his uncle’s gas station and dreams of owning his own mechanic shop. The
two fall in love, despite her mother’s objections, and get married after high
school. While their life together starts out idyllic, it soon sours as Libbie
begins to experience wild mood swings and Jack is pushed from her life. Emily
is heartbroken to hear about her father and Libbie. She’s determined to find
out what happened to Libbie. Is Libbie still alive? Will Emily find her? Will
her father want to revisit that painful part of his past?
Finding Love is a
beautiful love story in which love wasn’t enough to keep Jack and Libbie
together. Through social stigma, family reputations and misunderstanding of
what was happened to Libbie, their life together is torn apart. Without giving
too much away, I was angry about how Libbie was treated in her family. I was
disgusted how some people looked down on Jack and his dreams. I cried at the
end. I highly recommend Finding Libbie.
You’ll relish in the love story and the hopes that true love will find each
other again.
