Definitely Recommend!
Rose Mae has a taste for bad men and good books. Her husband is an abusive man, with quite a temper and a habit of sending Ro to the ER. When a gypsy at the airport tells her that Ro must either kill her husband or be killed, Ro must decide which path her future will take. Ro finds herself looking into her past and searching for the mother who abandoned her years ago as a child. She hopes to find her and ask her the one question that has been burning inside her all these years.... Why did you leave me?
I really enjoyed the writing in this book. Very well written and excellent character development. I found myself loving some characters, hating others, and even feeling sorry for some of them. I found Rose Mae's character to be very interesting. It was interesting how she viewed herself and how she would manipulate other characters in the book to get what she wanted. There were times I loved her and times I didn't like her so much. Rose Mae is actually a minor character from one of Jackson's previous novels, Gods in Alabama, and this book was written later to tell Rose Mae's story. This is one of those stories that has had me thinking of the characters since I finished the book. I will definitely read more work from this author.
