Dylan Turner works hard to keep her life predictable, though she would never call it that—she loves her routine, two guinea pigs, and minding her own business. But when her dad dies and the DNA test results in her inbox say he’s not her biological father, the life she’s so carefully built starts to unravel. As Dylan digs deeper into her family’s secrets, she can’t help but wonder, is a comfortable lie better than the pain of knowing the truth? Woven with emails, interviews, texts, and journal entries, Nearly Beloved is a heartfelt tale about looking for answers, even if they aren’t the ones you were expecting.
Publishers Weekly gave Kendra Broekhuis's Between You and Us a fantastic review, praising its “perceptive renderings of the nuances of grief, the challenges of healing, and what it means to trust God’s will. There’s plenty to appreciate in this touching tale of loss and renewal.”
Kendra Broekhuis writes stories about life’s heavy stuff with a dose of humor and love. She is the author of Between You and Us and the nonfiction Here Goes Nothing: An Introvert’s Reckless Attempt to Love Her Neighbor. She and her family live in Milwaukee.
