Book Review: Mothers & Other Liars

As promised, here's book review number two. "Mothers & Other Liars" by Amy Bourret is a pretty good read. I was a little disappointed in the plot development... I felt it was a little unrealistic as to what would happen in the real world. However, the concepts that Bourret explores are quite difficult - would you sacrifice one child to save another? Here's the back cover synopsis:

Ten years ago, Ruby Leander was a drifting nineteen-year-old who made a split-second decision at an Oklahoma rest stop. Fast forward nine years: Ruby and her daughter Lark live in New Mexico. Lark is a precocious, animal loving imp, and Ruby has built a family for them with a wonderful community of friends and her boyfriend of three years. Life is good. Until the day Ruby reads a magazine article about parents searching for an infant kidnapped by car-jackers. Then Ruby faces a choice no mother should have to make. A choice that will change both her and Lark's lives forever.

It may be a while before I do another review... I'm taking on "Crime and Punishment" out of spite. Both Sean and Mike have said they couldn't get through it, so I'm going to do it if it kills me!
