When you first disappeared, your mother warned me that finding out exactly what had happened to you could be worse than never knowing. We argued about this constantly because arguing was the only thing that held us together at the time.

I loved this book! Hope you enjoy it, too.
ReplyDeleteI really like the beginning and the 56 both - I've heard good things about this book - have never read anything by this author though...I need to add this to my list!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to know more about this book. The 56 excerpt and the opening both intrigue me. I especially like the description in the 56.
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting The Friday 56.
I believe I saw this book on another blog pretty recently. I love the cover art. Hope you enjoy and have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteVery accurate quote: "Swimming against grief. Drowning in sympathy."

ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend, Freda:)
This was a favorite of mine. Hope you enjoy it too!
ReplyDeleteThis one looks like a good one. :)
ReplyDeleteI've heard great things about Slaughter even have a few of her book son my bookshelf. I hope you enjoy it. Have a great weekend and happy reading!!!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the 56! I've been wanting to read this author but I don't think this book is for me. I've heard it's a great read though. Hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteWow. The 56 really does draw a picture. I hope you're enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteHaving arguing the only thing that is holding you together doesn't sound like fun, but I have heard good things about this book.
ReplyDeleteENJOY your weekend.
