After bouncing between an orphanage and abusive foster carers, one day she finds herself being sent to a new family. With their immaculate home headed by a Pastor, the Huxtons couldn’t be better respected in their town. But what lurks behind the pristine façade? Why does Paris’ dad make a point of singling her out for special attention and why does her mother always have an iced tea at her elbow?

Agreed. One might naively think that foster parents are kind. I'm sure some are but this is not always the case! Many thanks for reading and leaving a comment.Sahani Nimandra wrote: ↑08 Oct 2018, 07:54 I'm happy that some one actually thought off paying attention to the foster care system. The abusive nature in the foster care system is not only limited to one nation. This is definitely an eye-opener. Thank you for your review!

There is a saying that says, the more things change, the more things stay the same. Humans will always be humans with the same usual (good and bad) range of emotions and always having the capacity to hurt. Deception, pretense and hypocrisy can be covered with the cloak of religion at any time.ButterscotchCherrie wrote: ↑02 Oct 2018, 10:05The author grew up in the 1960s so one hopes things might have changed. Thanks for commenting!kandscreeley wrote: ↑02 Oct 2018, 09:19 Wow! This one definitely sounds like it has some good themes throughout. I would be interested in learning more about the foster care system. It sounds like a book I would enjoy reading. I'll look at it a bit more. Thanks for the review!

Yes, she related some horrible things from her past but seems at peace with it all now. Thanks for reading and commenting.ea_anthony wrote: ↑08 Oct 2018, 21:36 This looks like an interesting read. Apparently, it should have been an emotional read (exploring child abuse- and in a non-fiction), but the author decided to spare her readers the trauma and take the high ground of forgiveness (am i right?). It takes a lot of courage to put pen to paper on a memoir which has not too pleasant memories/incidences, kudos to the author for her courage and sensitivity.

Yes, the iced tea was kind of intriguing. The first couple of times you don't really think anything of it but it keeps coming up again and again. It's what you'd probably think (spoiler?!?). Thanks for your kind comment.Miriam Molina wrote: ↑09 Oct 2018, 05:38 The only other Paris I know has a life opposite to this book's Paris. It is sad how people who are expected to do the right thing don't. I am totally intrigued with the iced tea.
Another touching piece there, Alice!

When I think about it, the author did manage to write a book that's quite enjoyable to read on subjects that are often horrible. Thanks for your kind comment!
