Just What Kind of Mother Are You? by Paula Daly
4.0
This was a jarring memorable book for a variety of reasons. Laura Brattan's narration was fabulous! She found tears, she found tension, she drew up anger, and she displayed all of those at exactly the right amount throughout the book to make it even better than merely reading a braille edition.
Lisa is a harried sometimes frazzled mom. She doesn't feel she's as good a mom as her friend, Kate, for example. She tries hard, and she fiercely loves her kids, but she's not always as together as she'd like to be.
When Lisa's daughter's friend goes missing prior to visiting Lisa's house, Kate blames Lisa for not being more careful and thoughtful of the kids, for not knowing where her daughter went.
This is that nightmare book about a missing early teen girl. It's the story of a good mom who is unjustly blamed for something that horrifies the community and severely stresses Lisa and her family. It will stay with you long after the book ends. And things are not what they seem to be for sure.
