Description

A high-caliber, fast-paced, tear-jerker, full of jealousy, love, loss, intrigue, and even murder . . . with the Catholic faith woven gently in, a lovely silk thread in a grand and tragic tapestry. The details: Rachel Winters had nothing, won it all, and then lost everything. After the death of her daughter, grief-spawned delusions cause Rachel to lose her husband, her home, and custody of her son. Help arrives from two unlikely sources: a young teen, Lilly, battling her own demons, and a tattered holy card depicting St. Th?s?e of Lisieux. As Rachel grows closer to Lilly and comes to know St. Th?s?e, unbidden memories from her edgy past reveal fearful mysteries of seduction, madness, and murder . . . and a truth that will haunt her forever.

This book was not the kind of book I thought it was or what I expected. The religious aspect was weird and turned me off (maybe because I'm not Catholic?). I found it hard to read and understand even though I normally am a fast reader. I had to force myself to continue to read it just in case it

might get better... it didn't. It was confusing, I found myself wondering what was going on and I could not figure what the heck it all meant. This is not a mystery kind of book in my mind. I don't know who would like this kind of book. In another review it was likened to a Steven King kind of story. I never did like his books either.
