14 posts | 10 read | 24 to read
From the author of "Remember Mia" comes the tale of a young woman in search of her past, and the mother who will do anything to keep it hidden... What if you were the worst crime your mother ever committed? Dahlia Waller s childhood memories consist of stuffy cars, seedy motels, and a rootless existence traveling the country with her eccentric mother. Now grown, she desperately wants to distance herself from that life. Yet one thing is stopping her from moving forward: she has questions. In order to understand her past, Dahlia must go back. Back to her mother in the stifling town of Aurora, Texas. Back into the past of a woman on the brink of madness. But after she discovers three grave-like mounds on a neighboring farm, she ll learn that in her mother s world of secrets, not all questions are meant to be answered..."

Wow. Loved this twisted story. The writing is poetical and entrancing, drawing the reader back to it's pages and leaving a long-lasting impression. The author intertwines four stories that become one. "What if YOU were the worst thing your mother ever did?" reads the back flap, and it's revelation is to die for. Brilliant plot and realistic characters. The stories within this story tug at your heart, and when the book is over it leaves a feeling?

CaffeineAndCandy that it will never really be over. It will continue to live in your mind. It reads like a movie and reminds me of a song that gets stuck in your head, with scenes replaying over and over after you've put it down. 4y

There are two kinds of storytellers--the ones who tell good stories and the ones who tell great lies

#TBRtemptation post 2! This is the tale of a young woman searching for her past, & her mother who keeps it hidden. Dahlia's childhood was shifty, nomadic, unanchored. When grown, she wants to distance herself from that. But she has questions, and her eccentric mother is the only one with answers. When Dahlia visits her in TX, she discovers the story behind 3 grave-like mounds on an adjacent farm--the world shifts again. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

What would you do for your heart's desire? How far would you go to keep it safe? Dahlia needs to understand her childhood- the constant moves and not having the "right paperwork".
The story she finally gets is breathtaking. A young woman raped, married to an older man. All she wants is a child.. and she gets one. But at what cost?
I loved this story, with it's secrets and intriguing characters. Pacing issues though. 3.5☆

On page 118. Riveting so far. Get to see life through 4 POVS. Dahlia had an odd childhood. She remembers moving, driving a lot. Having no name. Homeschool, never played with other kids. Mother was secretive. Running from something? You also see things through a girl named Quinn, the town "witch" and Dahlia' s mom. Loving this so far.
