"Remarkable

This is a remarkable and excellent novel.

The joy aches, and the pain chuckle in these pages, and the entire book leaves you with the impression of silk — which is so lovely because it was written about living, and each character had something on its mind and its survival, no doubt.

Ms. Karen V. Penn, I look forward to what comes next in your art of writing."

 "Rivetting, suspenseful, what a page turner! The writer Karen Penn takes the reader through a whirlwind of family disfuntional issues. Every story line captivates you on every page of the book. The conclusion is a jaw drop. Readers will find themselves diagnosising their own family dynamics and also being astounded that so many events occured in one family."

Thank you to the author for giving me a copy for an honest review*

This was a quick read which I liked. The author really tells you about Loretta's life story and there is a lot to the relationship with her mother. Also the detail about what happened to her mother and her family was pretty engaging as a reader. The story while interesting and a slice of someone else's life, while engaging I found myself being unable to relate to it coming from a stable home and background.
