Hidden Truths by Brenda Youngerman
ISBN 978-1-60693-125-7
One word I can say about this book is WOW! It's one of those that you want to keep reading to see what is going to happen.
Set in 4 parts, with 38 chapters, we read about 4 children. Billy is a 6 yr old whose mother is killed in a car accident, one stormy night. His father blames him for her death and the boy disappears.
Gwen is a 16 yr old who had been left behind by her father....left to live with a drug addict, alcoholic, prostitute mother, who never wanted her to begin with.
As I said, you will want to keep reading and keep those pages turning as you not only read about Billy and Gwen, but also about their siblings. Wayne is Billy's older brother, who is left to live with their father and his alcoholism. Grace is Gwen's older sister, who is taken with their father when he leaves.
Heartfelt stories that will touch your heart, and bring you to tears. Lives intertwined as you won't believe. This book would be awesome made into a movie.
After reading Hidden Truths, I am in hopes to get a chance to read all of Brenda's other books!
