Hiding in Sunshine

I received this spectacular novel from Influenster for reviewing purposes, and I must say I was impressed. I have Adult ADHD and it is very hard to keep my attention, but I met my match with this book (completed it within two days..with four children). It was absolutely amazing!!!

Hiding in the Sunshine is a book about the Brinkley family living lives of quiet affluence in a historic, suburban Boston town, Gavin and Lisa Brinkley had no idea how quickly and decisively their lives, and those of their two young daughters, could be upended. A series of events - a mysterious break-in at their home, some menacing tailgating on the highway from Boston, a startling visit from an F.B.I. agent warning of an imminent kidnapping attempt - leads to the family's abrupt uprooting from its comfortable existence into a terrifying new existence on the run, under new identities. This taut thriller by a father-daughter team follows the eleven-year odyssey of an American family on the run, in hiding through the mountain states of the American west, where survival skills and living off the grid are paramount, but so are friendship, cooperation, and resilience. The enemy, always lurking just out of sight, is a foreign cyber-criminal enterprise that launches breathtaking assaults on the American banking system and physical infrastructure, but the Brinkleys also know that the threat is deeply personal, reaching ever closer to them from the shadows of the past. At the same time, Gavin and Lisa discover the perils of wandering too close to the edges of the dark side, in the murky world of cyber-security. A compelling story of suspense and treachery, HIDING IN SUNSHINE is also a celebration of a family's abiding love and courage -- and a young girl's faith in the triumph of the truth. 

Hiding in Sunshine is the work of a father and daughter duo who reside in the immediate area where these fictional events transpire. John Stuart is a successful high tech entrepreneur. Caitlin Stuart is a student and an aspiring writer with a lifelong love of reading and telling stories. This is their first co-authored novel -- and is proof that a teenager and her dad can indeed collaborate amicably and productively!

When I received the this title I didn't expect to like it must less love it. With it being written by a father/daughter duo I was expecting sort of a juvenile piece of work directed toward a younger audience. I got the exact opposite. You really have to pay attention to follow the book and it is quite sophisticated. This book has so many twists and turns I was having to stop and tell my husband about it. I never dreamed of the ending which was a huge shocking twist. This is a excellent work of art. I recommend this book to everyone I know. I am looking for someone to pick it up and make a blockbuster movie!! YES IT IS THAT GOOD. I compare it to the movie Law Abiding Citizen!! Someone please make the movie.. John and Caitlin should definitely keep writing together. They make a great team!!!!
