The Sanctuary Book Review

The Sanctuary

by Cassandra R. Siddons

Four friends. Three shocking secrets. Two marriages on the rocks. One special place, The Sanctuary, that holds the key to everything… Lydia has spent her life happily taking care of others. But when her husband dies, Lydia is the one who needs help. She learns that her husband has deceived her for most of their marriage. She will have to deal with the truth about her husband and their marriage once his secret is revealed—and the consequences of his deception. Liz is beautiful, fearless, and larger than life. She has achieved everything she set out to do—and she is keeping a secret that could cost her everything. Julia suffered a childhood trauma that has caused numerous neuroses and years of nightmares. Despite her best efforts to suppress the incident, it continues to haunt her. Now she must finally deal with what happened or risk losing her family. Sonya is a successful business woman but she has never been successful in love. She thinks she may have finally gotten it right with husband #4—until she realizes that she might not live long enough to find out. These four women, who call themselves Carolina Girls Forever, have shared a lot over the years. But they have also kept a few significant secrets from one another—until now. All the secrets they have safeguarded for so long will soon come to light. Once that happens, their lives will be changed forever.

***MY HONEST REVIEW OF THE SANCTUARY***

When Lydia’s husband dies, she is stunned to find out that he left her penniless, and in debt.  But even worse, is the secret she must unravel with the help of her 3 childhood friends.


I loved every minute of this book. When the girls went on their road trip, I enjoyed every tourist stop they did. In fact, I hit those same stops on one of my vacations.  This gave my memories of it more value as I also saw it through their eyes, like being there again with them.  I could feel the camaraderie of the four friends as if I were one too. It was so easy to relate to each of their personalities, no matter how different they were, and visualize each scene as I read it, whether it was Sonia’s secret, Julia’s fears, or even Lydia and Liz’s arguments.  I now feel that all these memories are mine too. I will be reading their continuing story for sure.
