Meet Noah—an A-honor roll student, award-winning swimmer, and small-town star destined for greatness. There weren’t any signs that something was wrong until the day he confesses to molesting little girls during swim team practice. He’s sentenced to eighteen months in a juvenile sexual rehabilitation center.
His mother, Adrianne, refuses to turn her back on him despite his horrific crimes, but her husband won’t allow Noah back into their home. In a series of shocking and shattering revelations, Adrianne is forced to make the hardest decision of her life. Just how far will she go to protect her son?
So I’ve been wanting to read a Lucinda Berry book for a while so why not jump in at the deep end and start with this one. It’s a massively controversial topic and I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about it.
This book was really good, I gave it 4 stars. So I cried, not for Noah but for his mother. The way this made me feel being the mother of a 14 year old boy was awful. The way I wanted to cuddle his mum and make her be ok was there all throughout the book. I hated Noah, but I also hated what he went through after, but was it justified? It’s an awful thing to think but I would move heaven and earth to punish someone who had hurt my child.
A good book, hard storyline, and a twist I didn’t see coming!! Onto her next book….
