5 Stars

A great introduction of Margaret’s life and how she has overcome life issues which began in her childhood to present time. It’s an interesting yet emotional story yet similar to a woman’s Bible devotional book. Margaret outlines the Bible verses, the Holy Spirit, God that she has utilised to help her overcome her pain and suffering from her childhood, teenage years, adulthood, parenthood and dealing with the trauma and tragedy of the death of her son. She’s outlines Bible verses, prayers, fellowship and a personal Faith to help you through similar memories, thoughts and sufferings that she’s dealt with herself. Definitely a book for those who are suffering from childhood trauma and issues and the loss of family members whose passed on. A book that will be left on my bedside table to help me when I’m suffering from similar situations.

Mystery & Thriller

5 stars

Set in Australia small town, a journalist and author Marlowe and co-creator of the Lily Foundation. Marlowe daughter of a police officer is interviewed by a past breakfast show hostess to talk about her book about Lily’s murder and the creation of the foundation. The interview brings forward flashbacks to Marlowe on her past hidden childhood memories including relationship with Lily, her father, and friends who help her to discover how and why Lily was murdered. A story full of mystery and thrilling twists and turns to which I found it extremely difficult to put the book down. Marlowe finds out what occurred, who’s involved and her hidden memories and secrets had her discover how involved she was in the hide and seek game of Catch Us the Foxes. A great thrilling book which is full of surprises recommended for readers who follow this genre of mystery and thriller.
