True to Me by Kay Bratt is the first book in the By
the Sea series. It is the story of Quinn Maguire who is sent on a mission to
Maui to fulfill her mother’s dying wish and discover the truth about her
mother’s dying declaration. Life for Quinn was perfect. She had a great job, a
handsome fiancé, and a clear plan for her future. When her mother tells her
that the man, she thought was her father really isn’t, Quinn is unsure where to
turn next. On an impulse, she buys a cottage on Maui and decides to renovate it
while trying to untangle the truth behind her mother’s declaration. While on
the island, she meets a local family who has fallen on hard times and makes
fast friends with the locals who show her what true hospitality is. With the
help of the locals, she discovers the truth behind who her father is, and the
truth is stranger and more dramatic than she ever imagined! What will Quinn do
once she discovers the truth? Will she return to the life and fiancé she left
behind? Or will the lure and magic of the island draw her in?
True to Me is another Kay Bratt story that pulls you
in and doesn’t let go. From the open page to the final scene, you are on this
journey with Quinn. One thing I will say is I found it hard to like Quinn at
certain points in the story. There were times I wish I could reach into the
pages and shake Quinn and tell her to be a bit more sympathetic and not to be
so mean. Other times I wanted to scream at her to open to eyes and to stop
being such a fool. Eventually she does come around and stars to fight for what
she wants and needs. Overall, True to Me is a great story about family,
community and forgiveness. I highly recommend it!
