Fiction by Kate Hamner
This story is told from two points of view, eight-year-old Carmel's and her mother Beth's, with alternating chapters. It took me a little while to get interested in it, because the beginning was not really the beginning. Chapter Seven is literally titled "Day 1." So chapters one through six were, what, a prologue? This was very odd.
Still once the actual story began it was very interesting. After taking about a week to read those first six chapters, I read the rest in a day. I wanted the ending to be a little more detailed; after such a long prologue there certainly could have been an epilogue.
