A Small Indescetion
I really liked this book. I would rank it sort of like The Girl on The Train or Gone Girl. It explored a lot of areas, past mistakes and how they might follow us, the inability to really appreciate what we have and the need to search for even more. It is a good look into how our actions can affect others and how forgiveness can happen with those we love. I enjoyed this book, liked the writing and appreciated all of the twists and turns.
Catherine McKenzie

Lovely novel
I really enjoyed this debut novel from Jan Ellison. Can we really leave the past behind? And what might you do to your life today if she try to go back to it? Those are two central questions at the heart of this suspenseful and lyrical novel.

Character
Is one's character as a good person or a bad person ever defined by one or two acts or lies? Is a person's character defined only by one's acts as an adult and youth an excuse for bad behavior? Very well written and keep my interest throughout.
