Reviewed by Patricia Reid
Lauren Walsh thinks that nothing can be worse than what she is living through since her husband left her for another woman. Her children are going through a very bad time and Lauren is trying her best to keep her family together and reasonably happy. However, when her youngest daughter, Sadie, loses Fred a nightmare begins.
When Lauren’s ex-husband goes to the Lost & Found department, picks up a stuffed toy that he thinks is Fred, and takes it home to Sadie he has unknowingly placed his daughter, himself and the entire family at risk.
More than one family is involved in this story and it is difficult to unravel the connection. The only thing that is for sure is that whoever is looking for the toy that Sadie now has will stop at nothing to retrieve the toy and the object hidden inside it. As the suspense builds, the reader begins to understand the background story and what draws these families together.
Live To Tell is a very exciting story that keeps the reader turning pages well into the night.
