I never could have imagined the affect this story would have on me. Even putting it into words now is difficult. I'm sure that not everyone will have the same reaction that I did, but I really felt as though the story spoke to me on a personal level.

Wynn Jeffries' life hasn't exactly gone that way she'd imagined. The girl "most likely to succeed" wasn't exactly a success story. She hadn't done any of the things she wanted. She was living alone in a tiny apartment, wearing second hand clothes and working in the local bar. Not exactly a dream come true.

But then she discovers a newspaper article among her grandmother's things. A newspaper article with a picture of Wynn's great-grandmother, a woman whom she was told had died when her grandmother was just a little girl. But from the date on the article, and the info it contains, it looks more like her great grandmother abandoned her family. But why? And why does Wynn feel such a strong pull to uncover the entire story?

And then there is Oliver Reeves, the boy who kissed her once and has been haunting her dreams ever since. Oliver, who followed his dreams to become a musician. On the same day she finds the article, Oliver walks back into her life and he pushes her to uncover her family history.

What will she discover about her family history and about herself?

So why did this story invade my heart and soul? Well, there are several similarities between Wynn and myself. We are both the middle child of three girls. Wynn was always there for her family. She put her life on hold to be there for them. In a way, I've done the same. My two sisters both went off after high school to do their thing and I stayed close to home. I didn't go to college. I got a job. I stayed. And when my Mom got sick, I was here. I was the one that everyone called when they needed something. I have traveled some and I did get married, but part of me feels like I haven't lived. And reading Wynn in Doubt really brought it all home for me. But, I think it's a sign.

When my husband and I got married....nearly 10 years ago now, we talked about moving. And within the last year, we have said we'll move across the country in 2015. Next year! I have been a bit of a nervous wreck because I've never taken such a big step and it scares me like you wouldn't believe. So I feel like Wynn spoke to me. I feel like this was a sign telling me to take that step.

I won't say that I'm not still scared about what the future holds, but how can I not go for it?

Emily said this book is about dreams, but I think it's so much more than that. It's about life and what happens when you aren't really sure what your dreams are or where your life is supposed to go. It's about falling into place, a complacent life where people look at you one way but you really think you were meant to be someone else. Wynn in Doubt made me take a look at my own life and wonder.

Wynn in Doubt Emily Hemmer 9781503948198 Books Reviews

I love a book that takes the character on a discovery. Wynn learns many life lessons from a woman she’s never met. A discovery of information and of self. This is that book. Wynn’s life is at a standstill, much to the convenience and choice for herself but for her family. It’s when she moves out of her comfort zone that she starts to live.

The wheels start turning when her grandmother undermines and plants the seed of doubt in Wynn’s mind about travelling. Faced with the boy (but now a man) that crushed her heart after taking her first kiss, life seems to be making a bit of a mockery of her.

With the sad passing of her grandmother, Wynn goes in search of finding out more about her great grandmother and with the help of Oliver, she discovers so much about herself and the family that wanted to keep those secrets locked away.

Lola’s story is as heartbreaking as it is inspiring. Hemmer does a wonderful job of transporting me to another time through Lola’s story. There are some laugh out loud moments. To me, the ending seemed a bit rushed and unrealistic to the sisters that seemed to rival Cinderella’s step-sisters all the way through the story to then just go ‘oh okay’.

This author certainly is talented and I am keen to read more.

I was given a copy of this book for my honest opinion.
Emily Hemmer, you are brilliant!!! This book was a bit different from the books I normally read. A friend was telling me how great it was, so, I gave it a go, and I am still thanking my friend for suggesting it. This book had me hooked and I didn't want to let go, I was up till vey late at night finishing it. I just had to know how it ended.
These past and present characters captured my heart, and will remain with me for a long time.
Wynn in Doubt, is about the main character 'Wynn' and her monotonous life, she goes through the paces without having any real passion or goals, but, that all changes when she finds an old newspaper clipping a book that belonged to her Grandmother. Wynn decides to research what really happened to the characters in the clipping, and what she discovers is a story of love, illegal activity and scandal, back in the days of bootlegging Moonshine.
I'm not saying anything more, as I don't want to spoil it for anyone. I will say that everyone should read this book. Believe what people are telling you, and enjoy Wynns story with all your heart. You will be thanking me, I promise.
I want to give it 10 stars!
