Jolene is a family name belonging to the Bennetts of Louisianne, TX. It's a long-held tradition that every first-born Bennett girl receives the name Jolene at birth to cherish the lineage and honor the sacrifice of the Bennett ancestor. But how does that fare when previous predecessors have tainted the name?
Everyone in this book was dealing with the pressures of living in a small town and trying to manage the expectations of family and legacy. Jolene felt like that she was stuck in place in a love less marriage with Dale. Ruud was struck in a loveless marriage with his wife. The ending was a surprised to me.
Jolene was so hellbent on proving Dorethea wrong that she made one of the worst decisions in her life but I get it because this was also about her proving everyone else wrong. Greta like many other women is more upset with the other woman vs the person she took vows with. She could've chosen to not go through with the marriage but she was blinded by greed. I hope she gets everything coming to her.
This is the type of mess and drama I love to read. I can't wait for more! I just wish there weren't so many time jumps and Greta count yo days heffa!!!!! 😑😑I hope Jolene get her happy ending!😫
