Erin Healy knows exactly how to lead us throughout the book, and follow the dramatic and moving story of a broken family.In this life full of lies, they must discover important values but the way it's not so easy to take.

Motherless is a unique story. It is narrated in the first person. The character moves from one scenario to another in a very strange way -as a ghost- and makes us wonder the reason why the character is in that state. Besides being the story of a mother, is that of a broken family living wrapped in a web of lies; and in the hour of truth, it will not be easy to accept, and what's more: forgiving.

The story is very dramatic and poignant, yet full of suspense and surprises. In the book there are many twists in the plot, that you can't speculate what's going to happen next.

If you've read any books by Erin Healy, you know that she has a particular and poignant way of telling things. Her novels always touch the heart, because you can identify some point in your life in the book.

Since the family is the center of the whole story, the issues it raises are very deep and I think it applies to anyone who feels that their family bond is riddled with lies. But Erin Healy, not satisfied with showing us the problems also leads us to a solution where we learn that all situations that seem torment us, have a solution.

I recieved a free eBook from BookLookBloogers but this fact didn't influence the review.
