Violence has shattered their family and left Libby nearly unable to cope. And while Carrie once took comfort in her beloved sister, Emma, her mother has now forbidden even the mention of her name.
When Carrie meets Ruth, Honor, and Cricket Chaplin, these three generations of warmhearted women seem to have the loving home Carrie has always dreamed of. But as Carrie and Cricket become fast friends, neither can escape the pull of their families’ secrets—and uncovering the truth will transform the Chaplin's and the Parker's forever.

My Review:  
The two unforgettable families being bound by deep secrets and haunted. What Happened to my Sister has a few twist and turns that make you want to either run as far as you can away from these two families or turn and help to find out what really has happened to the character Carrie Parker sister. 

Secrets, mayhem, Carrie is on a mission and heaven help the ones that get in her way. And the two families are right behind.  

Author Elizabeth Flock knows how to spin a tale that makes you want to continue to read all the way to the end. I enjoyed reading the whole book with the few exceptions that were just a little slow. 

So with out giving any thing away I will give this book the Breath of Life rating of:


   Four Clock Rating!

Disclosure: I did not receive the above book in exchange for my honest opinion and or review. But the Opinions are my own and yours may differ.
