What a mess! Weem, their father, is gone, but the mess he created continued on. His three adult children suffered the consequences of his actions.
I couldn't put this book down. The drama. The heartbreak. The Shock. Just wow!
Jess wants what all mothers want. She wants her children to be happy. She wants them safe. But one night the unthinkable happens. Life will never be the same after that. It can't.
Be aware. I wouldn't rate this book PG. There are some racy storylines.
I received this book from Boldwood Books to review.

Echoes of the Past
Can a family thrive after the death of a domineering patriarch?
Buckie, Scotland 1912
One year after Weem Lowrie’s death, his wife Jess and children are still living in his shadow, bound by the strict decisions he imposed when he was alive.
Eldest son James and his sister Bethany are trapped in marriages arranged to bolster the value of the family’s fishing business. Youngest son, Innes, struggles with the memory of his father’s disapproval over his failure to become a fisherman.
James longs to take over as skipper of the family fishing boat, The Fidelity, rather than working for his uncle. Bethany dreams of escaping from her role as a wife and stepmother to two young children and Innes longs for acceptance and respect from his siblings and to be seen as a man. But pursuing these aims only seems to invite new conflict into their lives.
And when Jess’s childhood sweetheart returns to Buckie, his attempts to help the family using his wealth and influence seem destined to cause even more chaos.
