This was a book sitting on my shelf for a number of years. I picked it up at a library sale and I think the only reason was because the author bio mentions she was born in St Louis but now lives in Houston. Doesn't mentioned when she moved or the St Louis question of what high school she went to but still kind of a local author. The story is kind of weird, not bad but just weird. A couple loses their young daughter and the mom is the focus of the story & she is having a real hard time coming to terms with things in her life. Throw in a trip to Egypt and large cats in Egypt that get shipped to TX and then Houston that she is also dreaming about and makes for kind of a strange story. The pain of the mom and also the troubles of the people around her are evident as well. Not a great read but some interesting characters. Thought the whole ending was maybe rushed, just trying to find an end. Oh well.
I will probably post this on PBS, even with her as a sort of local author, no reason to make it a keeper. Is the only book she has written at least listed in PBS. There is already 1 copy in system so don't see this one moving anytime soon.
