Just After Midnight

Faith has determined to no longer be held by the power of her husband's abusiveness any longer. When she meets Sarah, and the two form a friendship, they find that together they are stronger than either of them really realized. (I do not want to give too much of the story away... no spoilers).

This book was amazing! I loved it! From page one I was captivated and pulled into the story of Faith and Sarah. My heart hurt for them, rejoiced, laughed and cried. You will run the gambit of emotions here!

Great read and perfect for holiday gift giving!

Sol Rising. In this tale of despair from new-t0-me author Catherine Ryan Hyde, we follow two women in the midst of starting over after personal tragedies as they hide - and learn to live again in the process. Overall a rich, emotionally draining tale that makes you think, if inwardly, perhaps a bit more than I generally prefer but which others will truly love (and which even I find useful at times). The only actual detriment to this book that I could find was that it goes in on horse and horse show terms in as technical (if conversational, among professionals) a manner as Tom Clancy ever went in on the inner workings of various weapons platforms in his own novels. Easy enough to follow along with, but a bit confusing at times and you clearly miss at least some elements if you are not familiar with them. Overall yet another 5* book from Lake Union, and yet another example of why I will trust virtually any book they put out to be worth my time - and yours - to read.
