pickDelightful! You won‘t soon forget the main character-Molly. Her inability to see evil drives the plot. You will enjoy- I sure did.
pickThis was a great follow up to The Maid. The MC, Molly, blossoms as her self-confidence increases. Juan is away to visit family and Molly is on her own planning and delivering impeccable service at a special reception. The event is marred, when the guest of honor drops dead. Molly‘s attention to details reveals the guest‘s darkest secrets and a killer. It‘s a 4/5 ⭐️ pick for this celebration of family, friends and understanding our differences.
pickI liked this a lot, although could have done without the heavy-handed foreshadowing. Too much “Given everything that came later, I wish”… or “I should have…” blah, blah, blah. Fascinating subject matter, though, and I‘ll think about communication in a new way.
Had I known this wasn‘t the original version, I would have held out for the hardcover book. The author deemed some of the language he used in the original as making parents and teachers “uncomfortable” and watered down his writing for younger readers. Uncomfortable is a part of people‘s lives. Period.

Don't walk- run to your nearest bookstore or library, and get your hands on a copy of this book! While you're at it, grab some wine and tissues cause you're gonna need them. Because, wow! Just wow. Such a wonderful, incredible, amazing story this was.
Plus, fantastic narration on this #audiobook. 💗👍
Normally Ozzie won‘t model books for me but he‘s sleepy so I made it happen. 😂
pickThis is sort of a mystery wrapped up in a family drama. A father goes missing, and his nonverbal son Eugene is the only one with answers about his disappearance, but the boy is unable to communicate. The family rallies around Eugene to protect him while trying to find the Dad. There were so many issues around disability and communication and family dynamics that made this book especially fascinating.
