WPF TB



Where Petals Fall (Women's Fiction/Suspense)

"With vivid prose and a tender heart, Melissa Foster has crafted a psychological and emotional mystery fueled by love in all its forms."
Jennie Shortridge


On the surface Junie Olson’s life looks idyllic, from her handsome husband and beautiful daughter to her successful business, the bakery she always dreamed of opening. But in the past few months her world has slowly unraveled. Her precocious child is withdrawing, showing unexplainable signs of emotional regression, a condition that frays the bonds of Junie’s once impenetrable marriage. When her father dies suddenly of a heart attack, Junie packs up her daughter and goes home to help her mother. Her homecoming stirs up memories of the nightmare she thought she had put behind her, the disappearance of her childhood friend, Ellen. Haunted by recurring memories of what happened on that fateful day, Junie must gather the courage to revisit her past and untangle the secrets surrounding her missing friend, and the trauma that has caused her little girl to climb back into herself. As the pieces come together on the event that shook her small town, and at the risk of losing everyone she loves, Junie will question everything she thought she could rely on and everyone she thought she knew.

WHERE PETALS FALL is a gripping and emotional novel with an undercurrent of suspense, featuring a determined mother whose world slowly comes apart around her. Where Petals Fall will appeal to fans of Lisa Scottoline's Save Me or Jodi Picoult's Salem Falls, who love an emotional and gripping read. They will root for Junie as they follow her transition into an indomitable heroine who must reconcile what she discovers about her husband and family’s tragic past, and find a way to put the pieces of her family back together and carry on.

Great book! Kept my attention the entire time. Junie is the young mother of four year old little Sarah. Sarah was full of life until after a visit to her Grandparents one Easter. Junie and her husband Brian were taking Sarah to every specialist they could trying to figure out what was going on with her. Junie and Brian were drifting further apart every day that Sarah kept regressing. When Junie received a call that her father had died expectantly she had no idea how her life was about to spiral out of control. Junie had a best friend that went missing when they were 7, it was Brian's sister Ellen. While home for the funeral Junie started having visions of Ellen. She starting asking questions. These questions lead to her thinking her father, father-in-law and Brian had something to do with Ellen's disappearance. When the truth started to come out it was....WOW! I highly recommend this book! Great read! I give it 4.5 stars.
