All My Belongings by Cynthia Ruchti #review

In All My Belongings, a new life and a new identity can’t protect Becca from a past that refuses to go away.

After spending years running from the shame her father put on her family, Jayne is determined not to let him steal her future in the same way he stole her childhood. Changing her name to Becca Morrow, she moves to California and settles into a new life and a new job caring for the ailing mother of handsome young businessman, Isaac Hughes.

But just as she is wondering if Isaac and herself are headed for a relationship, Becca’s patient passes away under unusual circumstances. Suddenly, her past catches up with her and unnerving details of her heritage threaten to destroy all sense of homes and hopes for love.  Even if she could clear her name, a phone call wraps a suffocating shroud around her heart. Her estranged father needs her help. But can Becca open her new life to the man who ruined her past?

At first I found it hard to get into this book but about a quarter of the way it really sped up and left my mind reeling. It is such a realistic story and makes me wonder about all the people that live in Jayne’s shoes. How do they go on with life (if I say more it would be the worst spoiler ever) and how do they ever erase the stigma that someone has left on the family name. She is incredibly strong and determined even when fingers were pointed at her. She trusted in herself, God and Isaac.A definite must read! it was definitely not the type of book I expected it to be.
