The Return of Cassandra Todd
by Darrel Nelson
About the book (from the back cover):
Turner Caldwell works at a local motel as a handyman while attending college full time. On his way to class one day, he is shocked to see Cassandra Todd and her young son in town. The sight of her brings back powerful memories of being bullied in high school -- she was the popular head cheerleader and he the target of her friends' mean-spirited pranks. When Cassandra and her son check into the motel where he works and she asks for his help in eluding her abusive husband, he finds himself entangled in a dangerous drama that will require him to forgive and draw on every skill he has if they are to survive.
My take:
I had a hard time putting this book down! It was a very fast read, and I enjoyed trying to figure out what was going to happen next. I loved Turner Caldwell's transformation throughout the book, and the description of what he used to be like in high school. As the recipient of some mean pranks myself in school, I could definitely relate to Turner's painful memories of school.
As my friend Becky wrote in her review, this book had a "Lifetime movie" feel to it, but I loved every minute! I saw this book as a nice change of pace from some of the deeper books that are out there. I loved reading about each new obstacle that came up in Turner and Cassandra's adventure.
I would highly recommend this one to anyone who enjoys Christian romance and suspense. I give it a "4."
