Easy Lay Bay
is heading back to Yancy, and if that was your nickname in Yancy’s small town
high school, you might not be any more eager to go back than Baily Craig
is. Bailey had a few wild years after
her parents abandoned her to live with her aunt. But life has changed; Bailey has grown up and
is following the Lord, she doesn’t want to be reminded of the past. When her beloved Aunt dies and leaves
everything to her, Bailey gets pulled back to the remote Alaskan town she only
wants to forget.
It is not long
before Bailey becomes involved with an investigation of lost Russian artifacts
that lead to the realization that her Aunt’s death was no accident. Cole McKenna, Bailey’s brief high school sweetheart,
is also working on the investigation.
Old feelings arise between the two but Cole is not sure he trusts
Bailey, and Bailey is not sure she trusts herself.
The story is
good, fast paced, and the premise of a lost Russian Alaskan island is a new one
for me. The characters are real and
credible. The McKenna clan is fun and
has a great camaraderie that engages you and makes you want to be a part of
it. I did get a little tired of Bailey’s
inability to forgive or trust herself, it became self-pity more than anything
else. However, she reflects the problem
most of us have with forgiving ourselves even after God has forgiven us. Besides that, I love trying to pronounce
Russian names, and there are several in this story. Does anybody else sound like Boris and
Natasha when they pronounce these names, or is it just me?
