I enjoyed this very interesting book by Danielle Steel. An eye opener for sure!
I read a lot of Danielle Steel, but this book is more deep and profound than I have ever read from her. The subject is a form of child abuse, not very common. Being a nurse, I have seen it happen once. It is a very scary thing and very difficult to prove. I'm really not quite sure how I feel about this book. The outcome could have been worse. You will have to read it and decide for yourself.
The Dark Side is darker than Danielle Steel's other novels, but it still contains her unique and engaging writing style. The Dark Side is a fascinating story that quickly pulled me in and had me staying up late to finish it. The book is well-written with a good flow and steady pacing. I like that the story is written in the third person. Zoe Morgan is a developed character, though, not likeable. Her childhood shapes her whole life. Zoe becomes an overachiever determined to excel at everything she does and that includes motherhood. I like how the story gradually evolves as you move through the book. The Dark Side deals with a topic that is rarely addressed and is very hard to prove (I do not want to say too much and spoil it for you). It is an emotional story that will touch the heart of parents. The Dark Side is a psychological suspense that will linger in your mind long after you finish it.
