Motherless By Erin Healy



A whispering voice at the back of my mind reminds me that I’ve been this way for some time. Dead, that is.
The dead have a very broad view of the living, of actions performed out of sight, of thoughts believed to be private. I would know. Losing both parents is a trial no child should endure, and Marina and Dylan have endured enough. They deserve the one thing I could never give them: a mother’s love.
A mother’s love, and the truth.
My children have believed a lie about me for years and years. After all this time I can still feel their hurt in my heart. But the tether holding me to them is frayed from years of neglect . . . and I have to find a way to make my confession before it snaps.
But when the truth comes out, what other beasts will I unleash?
“Why do we lie to the children?” someone asked me once.
“To protect them,” I answered.
How terrible it is that they need protection from me.

I hate to say this but I was so disappointed with this book.
Way to detailed, it left nothing to the imagination. The storyline was fantastic and I loved the characters. It just was way to wordy for me this is just my opinion. Just a little weird for me, but if you like Ted Dekker you may enjoy this read. If you are a fan of dark books then you may want to check this one out.
I like happy, more positive books myself.
I gave this book 3.5 stars.
I was given a copy of this book by the publisher for my honest review.

  2. I am not a fan of those kind of books either Mary. I don't think that this is one that I would enjoy. Think I will pass. Thanks for the review.
