The Heart Ladder by Sibby Spencer

Thank you @rararesources and @SibbySpencer for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. The Heart ladder is a psychological thriller is set in Vietnam. The story is written well and I loved the twist I could not see it coming at all. The characters were likeable and I did feel for them at times through the book. The Heart Ladder story is a beautiful and really good plot. This is the first book I have read by Sibby Spence and will read more by her in the future. 4 stars The Heart Ladder As the war in Vietnam stutters to a close, a heavily pregnant Faith flees America for a new life in England. Leaving behind everything she knew, including the mystery of what happened to the father of her unborn child after he went missing behind enemy lines. Three decades on and her son, thirty- something slacker Dan, knows he's wasting his life in pubs, nightclubs, and his dead-end job. That all changes, though, when a man with storied eyes and an old army jacket introduces himself as the father Dan never had a chance to know. But is Jacob, a battered and broken war veteran, really who he claims to be? As Jacob's true purpose in seeking him out becomes clear, Dan comes to understand that his life is very far from meaningless - and that the choices he makes might have deadly and irredeemable consequences.
