Many thanks to NetGalley, Lake Union Publishing, and Catherine Ryan Hyde for the opportunity to read and review her latest book. I'm not sure I've ever given anything but 5 stars to one of her books - they are must reads for me!
Brooke is a single mom, forced to live with her mom because she is broke. To say they have a contemptuous relationship is putting it mildly, but Brooke is willing to put up with her mom to provide a safe home for her 2-year-old daughter, Etta. Then Brooke is the victim of a carjacking and the car speeds away with Etta strapped in her car seat in the back.
Molly is a homeless teenager, living in a crate. Molly was kicked out of her parents' home and has been barely surviving with the help of her friend. Molly comes across Etta, still strapped in her car seat, and takes her to keep her safe.
When these two unite, they will both have to confront prejudice and judgment to figure out how they can both move forward in their lives.
Just a wonderful story to make you think about mother and daughter relationships as well as how we view others different from us. I always want to be able to live life like a character in Cartherine Ryan Hyde's novels and be able to verbalize the perfect thoughts! Meanwhile, I'll have to be content with reading her books and hoping all these lessons seep in!
