Backseat Saintsby Joshilyn Jackson |
Wanda Cohen: A must read. Domestic violence is real and this novel makes it something you care about. Rose Mae never had a chance. Her mother left her in the care of her father. Her father beat her. Her husband beat her. Rose tries to walk away from her old life but, funny, thing, she takes herself with her every time. Can she really make a difference in her own life? The story is gripping. The ending is a major surprise. The reality of Rose's life is that there is a miracle in the making but will it happen quick enough and can she recognize it if it does?
Jackson is a gifted writer who is not afraid of the dark and who can turn monsters into
something changed and perhaps even redeemed while others remain exactly what they are,
beasts wrapped in human form. She draws you in and takes you with her each step of Rose
Mae's journey. I recommend you join Jackson and Rose Mae.
Rating: ****
