Book Giveaway – My Lost Daughter by Nancy Taylor Rosenberg

Lily rushes north to check on Shana, and sees her apartment in disarray and her appearance disheveled.  When Lily asks her daughter basic questions like, “what happened to the money I sent to pay bills?” Shana snaps at her that everything has been paid for, and that Lily should leave her alone.

 

Lily fears the worst for her daughter: Drugs? Does she need help, but refuses to ask for it? Lily immediately checks Shana into a treatment facility – and that’s where the worst of her fears are realized.

 

Back home and grappling with the torture case, Lily calls Shana, but can’t reach her. She tries again. Someone is stopping her calls, but who?

 

After days of increasingly urgent calls, Lily learns the shocking truth: her daughter is being physically abused at the facility, given mind-deadening drugs, and being locked in a padded cell for hours without food or water. 

 

Lily will have to summon all her intelligence and street smarts to find a way to free Shana. But she will have to work fast — a sociopath who has become obsessed with Shana is hiding at the facility.  

Fraught with nail-biting suspense and tragically flawed characters, MY LOST DAUGHTER will entertain and delight fans of crisply told thrillers and edge-of-your-seat mysteries.

Incidentally Judge Forrester is a recurring character is Rosenberg’s books, but rest assured even if you haven’t read any of the previous novels, it won’t have any bearing on your understanding the plot or characters in My Lost Daughter.  I personally have not read any of the other books, and had no problem following along.

Because the book synopsis, leaves out  an entire parallel plotline, at first there are two entirely different ‘stories’ happening in the book at once.  You understand just by the fact that they share the same binding, that they are relational to each other someway, but not how until much later in the book.

This book reads like a TV movie special, so much so that while you’re reading you may (as I did), be talking to the characters.  “Shana, what are you dumb?  Don’t do that….” and so forth…LOL…so you can see Rosenberg’s writing gets you involved deeply in the story.

The book does have graphic language and mature themes just as forewarning.
