Seeking Sarah

From the national best-selling and award-winning ReShonda Tate Billingsley comes this gripping and emotional exploration of the complex bond between mother and daughter.

From the time Brooke Green was seven years old, she has lived with the pain of losing her mother. Her father has done the best job he could in raising her, but a piece of her always felt empty. On the day of her father's funeral, her grandmother breaks the shocking news: Her mother, Sarah, is very much alive. She abandoned her family because she claimed she wasn't fit for motherhood.

After doing some research, Brooke discovers her mother is living in Atlanta, enjoying a great career...and a brand-new family. Stunned, Brooke doesn't know if she wants answers or revenge against the mother who abandoned her. When she meets Sarah's husband, Tony, Brooke sees the perfect way to make her mother pay. But her plan for revenge just may leave everyone in danger and end up costing Brooke more than she ever bargained for.

Broke learns of her father's lie after he apologizes on his deathbed. Her grandmother is forced into doing the deed and now Brooke is obsessed with finding her mother.
These actions sweep far and wide of the origin. The fall out and consequences are far more than anyone expected. Has Brooke found her mother or lost her way!

Seeking Counseling

Brooke was deeply scared by the loss of her mother. I was unable to connect with this book, I just wanted Brooke to realize how for she had come without her mother. I think an appointment with a counselor would have prevented this train wreck she caused.

trash

great book, but kind of slow at the beginning

Full of suspense

Is it really her mother she wants?

couldn't stop reading

The twist in turns in this book are unbelievable. hope a second one will come sharing how Sarah and her daughters have come together as a family.

cra-cra

this was an interesting book, I just couldn't get over a grown woman acting like a little girl. But maybe that was the point.

Good book. GREAT narrator.

Good book, though the story felt a bit rushed. The narrator did a GREAT job.
