Story Behind The Book

It took me ten years to finally write this followup to RHYTHMS. I do hope that the wait was worth it for my readers!!

From page one the reader is drawn into the life of Parris McKay as she goes in search of the mother she had been told was dead for 30 years. The story slowly and surely allows the reader to see and feel how and why the deception took place. The story is so well-told that at times I felt as though the mother had betrayed me. However, once I saw the story unfold, my perspective changed, as did my understanding. <br /><br />Even more compelling is the love story component of Parris and Nick, the man she is in love with. Also the story of the love of her mother's life is very compelling. The back stories about Celeste, a blue-blood, socialite and her mother, as well as Leslie, an overweight, interior designer and her mother are just as fascinating. The unexpected bond between the three women also speaks of sisterhood and the support that women can only give other women. There are also many other romantic layers and flavors that make this book a literary delight. <br /><br />I recommend What Mother Never Told Me to all readers who love a wonderfully told story. <br /><br />The book was provided by the publisher for review purposes. <br /><br />Angelia Menchan <br />APOOO BookClub
