Summary
Cami carries the burden of a painful past, tied to a house that is a symbol of her years of abuse. She hopes it is also the hiding place of a significant item—a locket her mother and Alice gave her when she was small. The locket is not just a piece of jewelry, it is a symbol of a happier time, a token of affection from each of them, and it's pulling her towards it.
She knows she could ask Jonathan or Swan to take her inside to look for the locket, but she is determined to face her past alone. The house is after all abandoned. The past can’t hurt her now. Can it?
One thing stands true for everyone. We will never know the impact of yesterday’s actions until today has passed and tomorrow arrives, and sometimes those actions have consequences.
This is A Creation of Yesterday....

Yesterday
Loved the narration of Heidi Bindhammer
All that is left untold or unresolved from the first book have all been answered in the follow up book A Creation of Yesterday.
Cami is now a young woman, over coming her past . Rick, Jonathan and Swan are very much in her life. The love scene in this book is done with taste and goes so well with plot , as Cami is becoming a woman and a survivor .
This book is brilliant..

A worthy follow-up
I had been looking forward to A Creation of Yesterday (Creation #2) since reading the first book in the series. Now that I've completed it, I have mixed feelings about the follow-up.
Warning: This review contains spoilers.
In my review for A Creation of Tomorrow (Creation #1), I mentioned the fact that it's a love story, but not a romance. The love to which I referred was a wholesome, protective (almost familial) love between a group of hardened adult men and a sweet young girl (Cami) who had suffered abuse at the hands of her father. I enjoyed the beauty that resulted from those relationships. I also enjoyed the ever-present threat of danger that resulted from various circumstances surrounding the characters.
Creation #2 continued that story and kept a similar tone. It introduced new plot elements and characters, and it framed circumstances from Creation #1 in a new light, which I enjoyed. Overall, I felt this was a worthy follow-up to Creation #1, which is why I gave it 4 out of 5 stars. That being said, I had one nitpick and one personal issue that detracted from my enjoyment…
Nitpick: The first book was told from multiple characters' perspectives, and I appreciated the balance that was struck. As the reader, I never spent too long with just one character before checking back in with another. In the second book, much of the first 20 (or so) chapters are told from the perspective of a single character, and there is very little conflict or threat of danger. For that reason, the story felt slow to gain momentum. Once the danger presented itself, the book became exponentially more satisfying for me.
Personal issue: As previously stated, the thing I loved most about Creation #1 was the non-sexual love between the male characters and the young female protagonist. In Creation #2, that love (between the now more mature young lady and a couple of the older males) became sexual, which I did not enjoy. At all. Not to sound too prudish, but the idea that these men would develop sexual feelings for the girl they've been protecting since she was a child felt exploitative and doomed for failure. Especially because Cami opted to have a relationship with not one, but two of these men. I simply don't see that ending well, no matter how non-traditional these characters are. (I suppose my opinion, at least partially, stems from watching people in my real life deal with the disastrous consequences of attempting similar types of non-traditional relationships only to see it all spectacularly fail.) I personally would have preferred a what I consider to be a healthier outcome for Cami, but again, that probably says more about me and my personal values than anything else.
I realize I have now spent more time discussing the negatives of this book than I have the positive, which may seem strange for a book I rated 4/5… but that is because I prefer, as much as possible, not to spoil the primary story for any potential readers. For anyone interested in A Creation of Yesterday, the things I discussed in this review about the plot should still allow those people to experience and appreciate the continuation of the story from the first book.
If you read and enjoyed Creation #1, I encourage you to pick up Creation #2 and let me know what you think!
