Publisher's summary

Mary Monroe is a New York Times best-selling author who pens tales of life’s emotional tapestry. Lost Daughters follows Maureen Montgomery and her daughter, Loretta, as they strive to make a life after the death of Maureen’s domineering mother. Forever scarred by Mama Ruby’s tyrannical ways, Maureen longs for a quiet, simple life. But Loretta has something far different in mind. Dreaming of fame and fortune, she embarks on a modeling career. Mama Ruby, however, casts a shadow with the power to darken their lives.

Wonderful Book

Great book, easy listening. I sure hope it is a sequel to this book. It sounds like it will be. I enjoyed the flow of the book and how it kept me very interested until the end.

yeS, yES,YES!!!

THIS book?! Invoked EVERY emotion and then some! Sadly, a LOT of it is relatable to real life...especially life in the old south! Ms.Monroe did the dang thang with this one! But I'm not surprised!

Really Mary?

I have yet to finish this book- I am struggling to get through it but I purchased it so I will try to get through it This book is UNLIKE. Mary’s other books , it seems drawn out , the story like is basic and lacks substance. So Disappointed that I chose to write my first full review.

Not her best

This story took us everywhere. I didn’t enjoy the plot of the story as much as I did the rest of her books. But by the end I was able to appreciate the journey.

Mary Monroe needs to write #4!!!!!

Awesome series- awesome ending- this is JUST s as good as her God Don’t Like Ugly Series. But I need more story on Loretta!! Would love to see her become more and more like the Maureens and Mama Ruby!

A housewife sitting on a porch with 2 cats…

Maureen’s naivety and the Loretta’s shamelessness was enough to make you want to fight. I was upset with both of them at one point
