A wild Ride

I love this author and this is my 7th read. She is an excellent storyteller, and she writes about the folks we live next door to and everyday folks trying to get the best out of life. This subject matter that the author chose to write about does not often pop up in most novels. My reason for not giving the author a full 5 star is because the story is so drawn out and would have been better if she cut at least 50 pages from the novel. It is sad what Lance, and his family had to deal with when Tia's secret was revealed. I praise him for showing true love after he found out Tia's secret. I don't think many of us would have stood by Tia because she was dangerous to her husband, daughter and husband. Tia's actions scared me straight out of my seat. Keep on writing Reshonda. I'm still on your side.

Good read

Now this was a good read with all the craziness to go with it and it definitely makes you aware of how you should treat someone with mental illness.
