Jewel St. John comes from a family of women who have been unlucky in love. Her mother and grandmother have both been in relationships where they were disrespected and hurt emotionally. Glendora, Jewel’s grandmother, sees what running away from her past has done to her daughter, Eloise, and her granddaughter and decides she has to be the one to break the cycle of unsuccessful relationships. Her goal is for her daughter and granddaughter to embrace love. TANGLED WEBS examines the romantic relationships between the three women and the men who love them and takes readers on a journey from the past to an emotionally fulfilling future.

TANGLED WEBS takes three generations of women and allows them to confront their fears in order for them to forge ahead in their relationships. Henderson uses the grandmother as the catalyst in bridging the gap between betrayal and running away from true love and realizing no relationship is perfect. The characters although at times were interesting, there were moments when the characters didn’t have the dimensional qualities needed to understand and empathize with their struggles. Also, the story seemed rushed and the situations predictable. With stronger character and plot development, this novel has the potential to embrace avid readers.
