The Girl In His Eyes- new release



BLOG TOUR

Book Description:

Her father abused her when she was a child. For years she was too afraid to speak out. But now she suspects he’s found another victim… 

Laura, a young woman struggling to deal with what her father did to her a decade ago, is horrified to realise that the girl he takes swimming might be his next victim. Emma is twelve – the age Laura was when her father took away her innocence.

Intimidated by her father’s rages, Laura has never told anyone the truth about her childhood. Now she must decide whether she has the courage to expose him and face the consequences.

Can Laura overcome her fear and save Emma before the worst happens?



MY REVIEW

I thoroughly enjoyed this read (if enjoyed is the appropriate word for this story).

This is Laura’s story. We also get her mother and fathers point of view. Laura is struggling to move on from what her father did to her years ago. When she finds out her father is giving swimming lessons to a young girl she knows she must do something. She also knows it will destroy her family. 

This story is really well written. I love getting several points of view. I read most of the story in one sitting only taking a break to begrudgingly feed the family. Yes it was that good. Great praise to the author for tackling a difficult topic.
