Review brought to you by: "Game of Thrones" by Gaby OVERALL IMPRESSION - Wow. Really solid entry for the GoT prompt. I've read a few of these already and can see why this one was one of the top entries. Keeping secrets sometimes can truly be devastating. WHAT I LIKED BEST - The excitement of Keisha to let the truth finally come out and restore the way the family history to its rightful place. PLOT~ Going through a dead ancestors belongings brings to light family secrets and dynamics. Keisha learns from her grandfather their her great-great-great-grandfather abandoned his family during the war. Now she is faced with the truth in the form of medals and letters from Churchill himself. CHARACTER(S)~DESCRIPTION~ I liked that The Coward turned out to not be true and this family history could now be forever changed. It was easy to get a feel of the home, and especially the desk that was locked hiding the family secrets. You really know what kind of history you will find once you start searching. DIALOG~ I liked how Keisha's grandfather thought she had a right to know about the past and told her the story of her great-grandmother as they continued to go through items to get rid of. You could feel the painful memories from her grandfather as he probably remembered the pain his mother went through.
