Sophies mother is a drug-addicted prostitute, leaving Sophie to take care of herself and her three siblings. Carters father abused both he and his mother leaving Carter physically and emotionally scarred and his mother with severe dementia. Every day after school Sophie comes home to take care of the littles (her siblings) and Carter comes home to help his mother rid the house of whatever imaginary demons that currently plague her. Their only solace is the time they spend together every night onMy mother-in-law is a reader. A causal one, of course, because she (unlike myself) has a life, but the fact remains that she isindeeda participant in that nightly brain-numbing ritual so many of us hold so dear. This (her need to read) is a heartily welcomed habit in regards to our relationship (aka I dont have much else in common with her, and sometimes find myself struggling for topics of conversation while in her presence. ) She is sweet, well meaning, and always on the go, all qualities I
********Rating: 3.5 Stars************I ordered this from amazon and I laughed when it arrived; I didn't realize how short it was, so when this little tiny thing came in the mail I was quite surprised! The story sounded great, though, and I picked it up last night as a quick read before I called it a night.

I wouldnt have minded if it was a bit longer, because I loved the characters from the minute I heard about them. I thought this picture described how I felt when it was over.Yup, Frustrated... I still dont know how to explain the book. So a list:1. So, the book starts with Sophie being late to English (happens to me a lot), and it progresses on from there. It talks about Sophie & Carters home
I have a theory which may offend some people; but the truth is almost always offensive and, as the old adage goes, it hurts.Theory: For the most part these big name publishers are churning out mediocre- if not crappy- books disguised with pretty covers. The smaller publishers are actually working harder to write quality material but they are overshadowed by the flashy covers. C'mon readers! All that glitters is not gold. Just because the cover is great doesn't mean the book will be. And vice
