Just finished A Fire Sparkling by Julianne MacLean (read by Rosalyn Landor and Sarah Zimmerman), and gave it five stars. I loved everything about the book, including the narration. A daughter has returned home after catching her long-term boyfriend cheating on her. Dad is glad to have her home at this time because he's going through an issue of his own: he's just discovered photos hidden in his attic that show his mother in the arms of a German Nazi officer notorious for his cruelty. To make matters worst, the pictures are dated around the time he was conceived. Seems family recipes aren't the only things grandma's been hiding.
With great writing and some well-designed plot twists, this is the best story I've encountered in quite some time.
