So I'd say it's worth a weekend. :)Lark https://www.blogger.com/profile/13777891312147377769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-39802877654030877332017-04-21T10:07:48.850-07:002017-04-21T10:07:48.850-07:00I am curious about this one.

There's something about the girl-or-woman-abducted-and-held-captive-for-years scenario that I find really disturbing. Well, obviously, it IS disturbing and should be -- but what I mean is, I usually find it too uncomfortable to read about. Which means, I guess, that I miss out on some very good books.<br />Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08639732368395025578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-73622536035967757722017-04-15T14:57:27.550-07:002017-04-15T14:57:27.550-07:00Sounds like an interesting twist on a story that i...Sounds like an interesting twist on a story that is, unfortunately, part of our "current events" in this world!

Thanks for pointing out that the books' emphasis is more on moving forward than what happened in the past. That is helpful to me in deciding whether or not to try something.Ruthiellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871834571645928819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-26712471295225046582017-04-13T07:49:01.606-07:002017-04-13T07:49:01.606-07:00This one sounds good.
