Description from the publisher:
When Randi Miller discovers that her daughter Sarah’s preteen behavior
is more than typical hormonal angst, she struggles to get Sarah the help she
needs while she watches the rest of her life fall apart around her. Randi has
made some mistakes in her life—mistakes that she feels continue to haunt her.
In trying to pick up the pieces, though, she feels that she has neglected her
children; she works full-time, attends college, and maintains a casual
friends-with-benefits relationship with a man she is hesitant to admit she
loves, and in doing so, feels that she has missed the obvious signs that
something bad has happened to her daughter Sarah.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a stand-alone novel / not part of a series.
The truth is, i almost didn't read
it. Even though I am probably Jade's
biggest fan (no Kathy Bates jokes, please), I was intimidated. This was truly a case of judging a book by
its cover. I have known enough trailer
trash in my life, that i just didn't see the merit in reading something about
them....... There is no trailer trash in this story!
Instead, this is the story of one
mother's search for the reason behind her daughter's depression. Every mother, even June Cleaver, has had that
moment of doubt when she thought she was doing it all wrong and must be failing
her child. This story absolutely tears
at your heart strings. I felt for Randi
(the mother). She is a single mother
doing everything in her power to make sure her children are thriving, while juggling
work, college, and the attention of the men around her. Her world crumbles when she knows that one of
her children is hurting. How she and her
children deal with the twists and turns of life and the evil that has invaded
their peace is what makes this a great story.
After finishing this story, - which I
read in one day because I absolutely could NOT put it down - I had a nice
little cry, and then I read the prologue.
As I contemplated it, I realized that "happily ever after"
doesn't mean you have had a fairy tale life, it just means you learned to smile
again after the tears...and isn't that what we all want?
