Brennan Sisters Novel The Good Daughter, Book 2, (Paperback)

Jane Porter's "The Good Daughter" is a marvelously well written story packed with heavy scenes, almost hearth breaking scenes, and smocking hot scenes. Jane Porter tackles the hard stuff in the book with bravura but she still has enough skill as a writer to leave her readers with a good feeling. She delivers a powerful book but does not forget that her readers like a happy ending. Jane Porter´s "The Good Woman" and "The Good Daughter" are somewhat different from her other books. She tackles hard themes in both books and in book one we get the same type of ending like we see in Jane Porter´s "The Frog Prince". In "Jane Porter´s "The Good Daughter" we see a more traditional Jane Porter ending. This is book two in the "The Brennan Family" trilogy and I can´t wait to read "The Good Wife" that´s out in September 2013. Book one is Jane Porter´s "The Good Woman".

Kit Brennan has always lived her life helping and taking care of others. She is the good girl, raised in a good family, a Catholic school teacher, but not much of a life for herself. She desperately wants a family and comes to the point of deciding to adopt. While on a weekend trip with her friends, she meets Jude Knight, the bad boy. He is everything she has avoided in her life. Long hair, tattoos, a motorcycle, and an attitude to go along with it. What is it about this man that has attracted her? She doesn't know at first.. Then, he is gone, but she can't get him out of her mind. A new student has enrolled in her school, a teenage girl with a troubled family. Delilah, doesn't do well in school at first, distant and unwilling to get along with anyone. After an incident where she does something very bad in school, Kit needs to talk with her parents, whom Delilah is afraid to call. She calls her neighbor instead, her confidant, who turns out to be bad boy Jude. Kit and Jude get to know each other better and help Delilah through her tough times. All the while, Kit's mother is in her final days of her cancer. There is a lot going on, but not too much for Kit and Jude to find their way to loving each other. This is a wonderful emotional tale that I really enjoyed reading. I loved the first of this series, The Good Woman and can't wait for the next book, The Good Wife. Jane Porter's books are always full of real life issues many of us deal with on a daily basis.
