What if every time you told the truth, evil followed?
Synopsis:
My name is Melody Fisher. My daddy was a snake handler in Appalachia until Mama died. Though years have passed, I can still hear the rattle before the strike that took her from me.
And it's all my fault.
Since then, I've been passed around from foster home to foster home. I didn't think anything could be as bad as losing Mama.
I was wrong.
But I will not speak of things people have done to me. Every time I do, worse evil follows. Now, the only thing I trust is what saved me years ago.
Back when I would sing the snakes calm …
Review:
A good friend, who is an author, high recommended this book, so I knew I had to check it out! And boy was I GLAD I did! This one grabs you from page one and never lets the reader go til the last sentence, and even then you want to go back and reread it! Melody is an amazing child, and one you want to take care of, as she s such an amazingly written character- a true survivor of evil done unto her, who find light where she can. She is different, but she could be any child. Only start this one if you are prepared to stay GLUED to it until the end, as you will not want to stop reading at all!
