Format: Kindle edition
I received a copy of this book as a gift in exchange for my honest review.
Now most of you who are reading
this are thinking, why didn’t she just take the baby and leave if they were
being abused? I know from watching a family member who was in an abusive
relationship, that they are mentally beaten down until they fear if they do
anything they and their children will be hurt or worse. Mentally their mind goes into survival mode.
Many women live this way for years until they finally get the courage to run.
Many of them end up dead. In Rivers’ case, she ends up dead, baby ends up in an
institution and the deputy ends up dead. Rivers doesn’t remember killing him.
This was a fantastic book. The characters were so believable that was empathetic to their situation from the very beginning. I fell in love with Baby from the beginning. I hated the Deputy almost from the beginning. It felt like he allowed the adoption just to give his wife something to do. I was so engrossed in the book that I read it during every spare minute I had, which wasn’t much, just to find out how things would work out. If you want a book with that human touch to it, that will keep you on the edge of your seat reading, then this is the book for you. I would definitely read more by this author.
I think I will need it for my collection.
