Review: Shadow Boxing: Book 2 of the Family Heirloom Series by Karen Wiesner

"Justine and Joshua have been married for eighteen years, both have been misreading each others signals over that time. An act of faith brings these two together to give them a new start that will open their doors for love."

The second in  the Family Heirloom series

Justine Samuels, a lawyer in a small town, has been married to Joshua for eighteen years.  She has always wondered why he agreed to marry her; was it purely because she was pregnant and he felt it was his duty.  She has  never mustered the guts to ask him, fearing his answer.

Joshua Samuels has wanted to express his feelings to Justine throughout their marriage, but had always felt there was a wall between them   When their daughter prepares to leave for college the tension between Justine and Joshua becomes more intense. Both are unable to read each other’s thoughts, but are to scared to reveal their true feelings.

To complicate the already troubled marriage, Justine finds herself considering separating from her husband for his sake, thinking this is what he wants. Joshua finds himself in a difficult situation fending off unsolicited advances from another woman, add in a health issue for Justine and you have a marriage unraveling that you desperately want saved.  What transpires is a delicate tale of raw emotions from a complicated marriage that is striving to succeed.

Through the power of prayer and faith in one another, Justine and Joshua are able to find that love can conquer all.  Karen Wiesner has written a riveting story about  a  married couple trying to find their way back into each other’s lives.  I thought this was beautifully written with an inspirational message throughout. The struggles facing Justine and Joshua are extremely well written with extraordinary detail is put in to their vulnerabilities.  Highly recommended.
