Every parent's worst nightmare.

I love most audios that have the cast of narrators, and in this case, it made the personalities pop.

This sounds like a very emotionally-wrought story, I'm used to her writing more subtly than this sounds so I'm really looking forward to reading this book!<br /><br />AmyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-13793110024027367642009-08-24T03:07:35.577-07:002009-08-24T03:07:35.577-07:00I was underwhelmed by this book.
