NEW RELEASE……..
On the surface Junie Olson’s life looks idyllic, from her handsome husband and beautiful daughter to her successful business, the bakery she’d always dreamed of opening. But in the past few months her world has slowly unraveled. Her precocious child is withdrawing, showing unexplainable signs of emotional regression, a condition that frays the bonds of Junie’s once impenetrable marriage. When her father dies suddenly of a heart attack, Junie packs up her daughter and goes home to help her mother. Her homecoming stirs up memories of the nightmare she thought she had put behind her, the disappearance of her childhood friend, Ellen. Haunted by recurring memories of what happened on that fateful day, Junie must gather the courage to revisit her past and untangle the secrets surrounding her missing friend, and the trauma that has caused her little girl to climb back into herself. As the pieces come together on the event that shook her small town, and at the risk of losing everyone she loves, Junie will question everything she thought she could rely on and everyone she thought she knew.
WHERE PETALS FALL is a gripping and emotional novel with an undercurrent of suspense, featuring a determined mother whose world slowly comes apart around her. Readers will root for Junie as they follow her transition into an indomitable heroine who must reconcile what she discovers about her husband and family’s tragic past, and find a way to put the pieces of her family back together and carry on.
My Thoughts:
What to say about this book other than I thoroughly enjoyed it and hated having to put it down!
Being a psychology major had me picking through Sarah’s regression trying to diagnose her and picking through Junie’s memories to decipher them and working through Brian’s mood to decipher him as well.
This book was very suspenseful. I was constantly on the edge of my seat trying to figure everything out and put everything into the right place. It was like trying to put a puzzle together, piecing together little by little with Sarah, Junie and Brian, and then where her father fit and Katie. Oh, so many pieces!
I loved that I could not and did not have it figured out. The truth was one that I had not thought of (and trust me, I came up with several conclusions throughout the entire book).
Melissa Foster is a fabulous author and has yet to disappoint!
