Great find!

I wanted a book narrated by Helen Johns. She’s one of my favorite readers, and I had a hunch she would lead me to a wonderful book. Well she did! Sanjida Kay is quite the storyteller. I won’t say I couldn’t put it down. I have to make a living, after all. But it was tough. Really tough.

Full of twists

Great mystery. Unpredictable. Keeps you thinking and wondering. The narrator is very good too. Mother’s love is a primal emotionally laid rock.
