On Mother’s Day, at the elegant restaurant brunch with her children and grandchild, Lucy Stone felt so proud of her kids. Just days later, it was another story when she had to pick up her daughter at the town jail. She had a hard time sustaining that pretty image of mothers and daughters when she had to report on a bitter competition between two mother-daughter pairs. And when she and her daughter in law have to stop on the way home from their Mothers’ Day gift spa trip to respond to a shooting, Mother’s Day feels like a distant — and maybe fake memory.
This book in the Lucy Stone series tackles a lot of current events: cyberbullying, stranger danger, gun control, killer moms, terrorism… The result is less cozy than most of the series, but also more thought provoking. Lucy and her family end up giving some thought to God, evil, and truth in an unusual ending.
Fans of the series will enjoy this book, and new readers won’t feel lost. Give your favorite mom a copy and an afternoon of quiet to read it!
