Where Rivers Part

by Kellie Coates Gilbert

Where Rivers Part by Kellie Coates Gilbert Success too often comes with a price. Juliet never imagined it could be so high. Dr. Juliet Ryan has devoted her considerable scientific acumen to corporate America, providing safe drinking water for millions–and affording her plenty of perks along the way. It’s not the path her estranged father would have her take, but then Juliet finds it difficult to maintain respect for a man she cannot trust. She’s on her way up in the world, and she’s not going to let anything drag her down. But when a fast-moving disaster sweeps Juliet into a whirlpool of corporate scandal, lives are at risk–including those of some of the people closest to her. As she scrambles to find answers, Juliet must face her deepest wounds and join forces with the one who has hurt her most in order to expose a far-reaching conspiracy. Like a mighty river with twists and turns and hidden rocks, this engrossing story will sweep you relentlessly along as it fearlessly explores the seduction of success, the fear of giving up control, and the redemptive power of learning to forgive.

A Woman of Fortune

by Kellie Coates Gilbert

 

You never know what you’re really made of until you lose everything.

Texas socialite Claire Massey is living the dream–designer clothes, luxury cars, stunning homes. But everything comes crashing down when her charming cattle broker husband is arrested for fraud. Suddenly she finds herself facing attorneys, a media frenzy, and a trail of broken hearts. Betrayed and humiliated, Claire must face incredible odds to save her family–and discover a life worth living.

Author Kellie Coates Gilbert delivers a story both poignant and emotionally gripping that celebrates the kind of fortune that lasts.

 

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

This was a really interesting story! This Texas Massey family was beyond wealthy, and living the life that told of their wealth. Their three children never wanted for anything when it came to material possessions because they had it all. But just as Tuck Massey announces that he is giving his future son in law a whopping 2 million dollars to help in funding his campaign, Tuck was arrested and charged with swindling thousands of innocent victims out of billions of dollars, in the largest cattle scam in the country. But Tuck couldn’t be guilty of anything could he? At first his wife Claire didn’t think so, but then as truths begin to surface, this Massey family would face the most devastating heartbreak a family could ever face. Including loosing everything they had, big house, fancy cars, frills, and thrills, it was all gone. What would happen to them all now that life had been jerked out from under them?

I loved this story, I felt sorry for all of the victims that lost their money, but in this book author Kelly  Gilbert gives readers another side of the story, and that is the family that were victims because of their husband/dad’s actions. I had to grieve with this family as I read the story because they were just as innocent as the victims that lost their money. Little did they know that the leader of their family was taking them down a road of destruction. But that is not all to this powerful story. And since I don’t like giving away the plot, you need to read this awesome story for yourself!
