The Baxters: A Prequel, by Karen Kingsbury
Publisher Atria Books
A terrible storm builds up in the early morning sky looming over Bloomington, Indiana, as Elizabeth Baxter gets ready to celebrate her daughter Kari's wedding to Tim Jacobs. It's supposed to be the happiest of days, yet Elizabeth can't shake a growing sense of dread. Is the storm just a sign? Something bad is going to happen. Elizabeth knows it.
Indeed, there are dark currents of conflict and doubt coursing through the Baxter family. In the midst of them, Kari Baxter is beginning to panic. Is marrying Tim a mistake? What about her family? Her brother Luke is angry and resentful of their sister Ashley, who has recently come back from Paris, a single mom with a son she too often leaves with their parents. Meanwhile, Ashley and their sister Brooke have lost the faith that is the family's glue. Against all this, Kari sees Ashley rejecting her longtime love, Landon Blake, who clearly cares for her, despite whatever happened in Paris.
When the storm reaches a frightening crescendo, a shocking moment of danger brings important truths to light. At the close of the long day, could the Baxters remain a family, tested yet stronger?
