Out of the Woodwork
Having a philanthropist’s heart, Leesa Maddox finds joy in helping others, whether it’s large organizations or a family whose hit a rough patch. Extended family means the world to her, which is why Phillip and Leesa indulge their children and grandchildren in every possible way; that is, without creating self-entitled, rich brats. They’ve taught them how to embrace their talents and stand up for a cause in which they passionately believe, like the Teen Voice Movement. Despite their many differences and diverse interests, they all hold one common belief, Family is Forever.

More about the Maddox Family
The sequel to "The 9th Brother" and it's just as good as the first one. I have inside information that this is going to be part of a trilogy, which I look forward to reading. Thornheart writes for this family as if she is part of it, and this story focuses on Lessa and Philip. There is such a family dynamic among the Maddox family and each family member is an integral member. Emotions run high but is cut perfectly with humor and joy. Such a passionate story. Can't wait to read more about the Maddox family.

My freshmen year in college, I wrote a psychoanalyst's view of Sophie's Choice for a psychology class. Since I am a classic procrastinator, I left the final typing till the night before it was due. I would have received an A+ on that paper if only I had left myself enough time to properly proofread it; instead, I received a B+.
In the same way I robbed myself of the outcome of a perfect paper, Raven Thornheart's publisher, Global Publishing Group, has robbed her of the results of writing an amazing story. I tell you, Out of the Woodwork is a tearjerking, awe-inspiring, wonder of a story.
As the second book in the Maddox Family Chronicles, it smoothly matches its sibling The 9th Brother. The Maddox family, of whom these books chronicle, are not only the fairytale version of who we all want to be, but also of who we all SHOULD be. This sequel continues with the extended family members first introduced in book 1 and adds to each family members storyline. My favorites are Brayden's Hideaway and Kayleigh's 16th birthday celebration, because they made me cry with joy. The last chapter killed me with tears.
Raven Thornheart is as adept at bringing to life the events in a pro soccer negotiation as she is in detailing the fashion haute couture of the rich and famous as she is in describing the culinary delights of a ball or charity event as she is at painting a picture of the dance of a ballerina. Out of the Woodwork has so much to offer the reader in a new, distinctive voice like no other I have ever read before.
