Book Description:
A gripping and emotional novel that will leave you wondering about the neighbors next door…
On a cold January night, Sharon Lemke heads outside to see a lunar eclipse when she notices something odd at the house behind her backyard. Through her neighbor’s kitchen window, she sees what appears to be a little girl washing dishes late at night. But the Fleming family doesn’t have a child that age, and even if they did, why would she be doing housework at this late hour?
It would be easy for Sharon to just let this go, but when eighteen-year-old Niki, a former foster child, comes to live with Sharon, she notices suspicious activity at the Flemings’ house as well. When calling social services doesn’t result in swift action, the two decide to investigate on their own.
Thoughts:
This book wasn’t at all what I was expecting, but I loved it!
This was a great mystery / suspense that had family drama, lies, foster children, drug abuse, missing children, friendship, and family.
One night Sharon thinks she sees a little girl washing dishes in a home that doesn’t have a daughter. When Niki comes to live with her, together they work to solve the mystery around the little girl. Additionally, Sharon shows Niki what it is like to have a loving, supportive and trusting person you can count on.
This was such a good story that pulled on your heartstrings, while also made your heart race! Great Fall read!
