The Stepchild

By: Joanne Fluke

Narrated by: Barbara Caruso

Haunted by her dreams...

Kathi Ellison is an English literature major at the University of California in Berkeley, living with her boyfriend off-campus. She is also the daughter of a candidate for the US Senate and his wife, a role that could affect her life should her father win the election. But before she can consider her future, Kathi must first come to terms with her past. A car accident when she was four years old killed her mother and left her in a coma for several days. The migraines and nightmares that plagued her as a child have recently returned with a vengeance, leaving her mind full of visions that feel more like memories. Memories that are not her own. Memories of a frightened and traumatized child named Sheri Walker. Memories linked to her mother's death that her stepmother doesn't want her to remember.

The narrator drove me nuts

Story was pretty good but I couldn’t wait for the book to end. Definitely not her best book. It didn’t make me feel good

Boring to the ridiculous

I usually like Joann Fluke novels but from the beginning of this book I was bored. I kept listening thinking it would improve but I was wrong. The ending was a huge disappointment. I also don’t know why, since this book took place in the U.S. they chose a reader with a British accent.
