The Katydid Effect is historical fiction and should appeal to pragmatist and romantic alike. The story follows the lives of Maryanne and Alexander Throckmorton over a period of thirteen years. In 1954, they met by chance at a roadside diner in Appleton, Wisconsin. They fell in love, married, and traveled to their new home in Pensacola, Florida. Time rolls along, and by 1967 many significant milestones have been passed. As they endeavor to establish their new lives together, they are confronted by secrets from the past and problems of the present. How they deal with these surprises and withstand the obstacles before them is the basis for this story. It is an adventure of intimate discovery that takes Alex and Annie through personal and emotional enigmas. New situations force them to navigate around the dark realities of the past and recognize the consequences of the complicated, hidden relationships of the present. Their love and trust of one another is tested, as deep secrets are revealed and force new sentiments on their lives and their love ones. The Katydid Effect puts their trials and tribulations into perspective.… (more)
The Katydid Effect takes up the story of Alexander and Maryanne Throckmorton where "In A Cream Packard" left off-- from newlyweds embarking on their life together on their horse ranch in Florida to 13 years later, and encounter some challenges along the way. Family secrets and some pain need to be tackled and dealt with in order to move on-- and some of the secrets end up being life changing-- but Alexander and Maryanne's love for each other is strong and they manage to weather the storms together. The author sent a companion cd with music from the decades the book was set in and made a very nice soundtrack for the book. I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review-- thank you! ( )
Goodreads asks the author to submit a review of their work, so here it is: "Of course, it's a biased review. I wrote it then read it. Lots of times." This is book #2 of the Throckmorton Family Novels. Alex and Annie's lives are turned on edge as decades-old surprises pop up and hidden family secrets are revealed. ( )
