Refuge on Crescent
Hill by Melanie Dobson is a story of family secrets and one woman’s journey
home. Camden Bristow was a photographer who traveled the world taking photos of
amazing sights and documenting tragic events. Until one day when the calls for
her work stopped. Left destitute, her only option is return to her grandmother’s
home on Crescent Hill. As she heads there, she has no idea what awaits her or
what secrets will be revealed once she gets there. Alex Yates is the charge of
the economic development for the same town of Etherton but every one of his
ideas has been shot down by the city council and he is desperate for the next
idea. Alex is running from his own past and a secret he’s desperate to keep
hidden. Stephanie Ellison-Carter is a student writing a research paper about
the Ellison family. She learns that her family had some jewels stolen and the
theft could be linked to the disappearance of one of the Ellison’s slaves. As
their journeys began to merge, their own personal secrets will be revealed. Will
Camden finally find a home? Is there someone who is trying to sabotage Alex’s
attempts to boost the town? How are Camden, Alex and Stephanie linked to the
Crescent Hill?
I thoroughly enjoyed Refuge
on Crescent Hill. Having read Ms. Dobson’s books before, I was eager to
dive into this one and it did not disappoint. From the opening page to the
closing epilogue, the story is driven family secrets, evil plots and twists and
turns of a great mystery. I enjoyed all the characters, even the villains fit
well especially the ones you wouldn’t suspect. When the connection between the
three characters are revealed, it is an emotional moment for the characters as
well for the reader. It reminds you that we might be strangers but our family
pasts may be connection through an amazing story of strength, courage and
bravery. Even though I wanted to
strangle Camden at times for being an idiot, I cheered for her by the end. I
highly recommend Refuge on Crescent Hill.
