Mother and Daughter

De: James Caine

Narrado por: Alex Picard, Scott Merriman

Her mother's rules were simple, but Annie Meadows rarely followed them.

The rules were required, though, if they didn't want to get caught.

Sometimes Annie believed what she and her mother did was wrong, but she was told they were helping the children in the basement. When Annie heard them cry in their locked rooms, it didn't feel that way.

As she got older, Annie reflected on what she had done and vowed never to be like her mother. Then she met little Gracie Bradshaw, a child in her daycare classroom. Gracie is special, just like Annie was.

Now, Annie wants to help the little girl, and the only way she knows how is with her mother's rules.

Fans of Freida McFadden, Daniel Hurst, and Kiersten Modglin will be hooked by this totally addictive psychological thriller with a jaw-dropping twist!

Wow! Grabs you from the beginning, demanding that you continue reading.

It is a book about abuse, both physical and psychological, and its lasting effects on families involved. It's a story about kidnapping but not your typical kidnapping. It's about good people who can also be bad. It's about lies. The characters are wonderful: Annie, the daycare teacher, Sarah is a typical abused wife afraid of angering her husband, Roger is your typical abuser, who was abused himself as a child with rage issues. Gracie is the four year old daughter. The story is told in chapters from three characters' perspectives in a way that is effective and not confusing. Lots of twists to surprise the reader and I love the ending of what happens to Roger!
