I don't think I ever shy away from most subject matter that draws from the truth. Some is harder to read than others and it's almost always all in the way it's told.

I admit to steering clear of this subject matter, yet knew I would read this novel for two reasons -- curiosity and Amy's writing/storytelling. <BR/><BR/>Being honored to receive an ARC, I read each page with an ever-growing lump in my throat...but not for the child. TETHERED is a brutally gorgeous novel that cuts deeply, while making you stronger for caring about unforgettable characters.Larramiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788910637361812265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37180398.post-53885855389973355782008-06-17T10:17:00.000-04:002008-06-17T10:17:00.000-04:00Amy, I suspect that the death of a child in your b...Amy, I suspect that the death of a child in your book leads the reader to an understanding/truth that will enlighten.

I have yet to reach for Lovely Bones, truth be told, but I will reread Tethered not because it is Amy's, but because, as you put it Judy, Amy is a writer to be trusted and does a beautiful job with the entire story.<BR/><BR/>HannahLynne Griffin and Amy MacKinnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11107479565926998943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37180398.post-61777264111518496132008-06-17T08:24:00.000-04:002008-06-17T08:24:00.000-04:00This gives me chills, Amy, and while I know your n...This gives me chills, Amy, and while I know your novel will be hard to read at times, I also trust you as a writer.
