The scent of sweet and cinnamon drift from a country club
kitchen. Abby is working at a country club as a waitress with her friend Cory.
Dealing with people is not Abby’s strong suit as she is usually equipped with
her sarcasm and ready to ‘just tell people how it is’ attitude. However, when
Lucy, a chef at the restaurant, makes her specialty cinnamon rolls, Abby can
almost tolerate her job.
After years of her family’s history instead of fairy tales
like every other child Abby thinks she is far too old to think about those
stories. One night she is trying to leave work, her friend Cory drags his feet
so she decides to leave without him. On the way home though she is kidnapped
and brought to another country. Cory is left feeling with the guilt of not
simply walking his friend to their neighborhood. Abby is now being held against
her will in a mansion.
The rose-colored glasses don’t last long with her capturer.
She soon learns that he is after an unfinished deal with her family and his all
those years ago. As she is plotting her escape, she learns that her dad had the
story wrong about her great-great grandmother Emma.
Cozy up with a warm cinnamon roll to read about a person who
isn’t as sweet as one. Family Ties is
a young adult novel that is told by three different point of views, Abby’s,
Cory’s, and Emma’s. After all, a story doesn’t have one side.
