Leaving Yesterday Audiobook

" I liked the idea of this book. The thought of how far you will go as a mother to protect your child is an interesting one. It was a little "cheesy" . One of those books that was interesting enough to finish reading, but not one I would be telling everyone I know to read. "

" I initially disliked this story's portrayal of "church people', but was pleasantly surprised by the way my expectations were exceeded in the conclusion. "

" It was a faith based book about a drug addict who murdered the drug dealer. The addict's mother became involved when she found the evidence and made a bad decision about what to do with it, in order to save her son. This occurs a few years after her oldest son is killed in a violent crime. She is separated from a domineering husband and is struggling with making a living. Her one solace is her church and her friends there....and the neighbor who lives across the street. "

" The subject matter of this book is not light & fluffy; it's a look at a family which has broken apart after a child's death and the subsequent meltdown of an older sibling who then turns to drugs. What surprised me about this is that it's christian fiction and yet didn't flinch from taking a realistic look at these hard problems and flawed people. Leaving Yesterday is our book club's September selection--I can't wait for the discussion we'll have. "

" This book is one that keeps the story moving rather quickly. You really want to look to see how it ends, but don't. As a mother, your interest is peaked in several instances. It does have a Christian status to it. "
