Mary Kay McComas

In "Something About Sophie" the main character Sophie, has known since she was a child that she was adopted.

Sophie though had loving adopted parents and never tried to find her biological parents. However, one day Sophie is contacted by a man (Arthur) who claims to know who her real birth mother is and has something important to tell her. Sophie upon arriving finds that Arthur is dead and there are plenty of people who want her gone.

Due to being left Arthur's home in his will, Sophie stays and meets Drew, who was Arthur's doctor. Sophie finds herself falling for Drew and traveling to unravel her and her birth mother's past.

Mary Kay McComas can definitely write. The novel flows together very well. I did like the character of Sophie though at times I found her actions and reactions to be a bit unbelievable at times.

I just had one issue with this novel and that is that it is not really a mystery novel. It really should be marketed as a romance novel. And no I do not have a problem with romance novels and do enjoy reading them. However, I don't know if I would have picked this novel to read if I had known that it would really be a romance novel in disguise.

I would this novel to romance readers and other people who enjoy light mystery novels.

Please note I received this novel for free via the Amazon Vine Program.… (más)

When we are growing up, and viewing life through young eyes, we often don't see the true reality of the world around us. Hurtful things may cause us to make our own reality. We may be looking and listening, but still not comprehending. Sometimes, it takes maturity and similar experiences in our later years to really grasp the full meaning of what we have seen and experienced. Life is a continual learning process, full of starts, stops, and restarts. The truth is always there, waiting. We just have to find it. It already knows exactly where to find us. In "What Happened to Hannah", by Mary Kay McComas, the truth comes home to Hannah Benson in a startling manner, and one phone call forever changes the path of her life. To escape the cycle of abuse, Hannah had left home at age sixteen and never looked back. In high school, Grady Steadman was Hannah's sweetheart. Years later when he calls her, he is the sheriff of their hometown, informing her that her mother has just passed away. He also tells her that her sister had died some time ago and left behind a young daughter. Hannah's return to her home place is bittersweet, and she is forced to deal with painful memories and haunting ghosts from her past. She must also find a way to make a new life for herself and for her niece, Anna. With Grady now again a visible presence, Hannah's heart remembers how they once felt about each other, and feelings long denied flicker back into flame. In order to grasp a chance at true happiness, Hannah must let go of the weight of the past and grab on to the future with all of her heart.

Abuse has long -lasting, widespread effects-not just on the victim, but on those who care for the victim. All of us, whether we realize it or not, know someone who has been abused at some point in their life. The first reaction to abuse is denial. It's a subject which makes people uncomfortable, and the victims often linger in a very painful silence. Writing about it may encourage someone who is a victim to seek help. Acknowledgement is not only a first step, it's a giant leap!
