Newest Review: ... through life... She thinks about the people she employs and has quite an ordinary life really. Then something happens which ... more
... changes her life forever making it far from ordinary. She is suddenly thrown into a new world completely and is forced to build a new life for herself. The story takes a different turn as she begins to build this life and deal with what has happened.
The whole concept of the book sounds quite good, there is a lot of scope with what the author could do with this story, however, it just does not flow.
I found the book quite confusing. It is told in first person by Mary Beth so she may say how she was sitting outs...more

I bought this book because it had some very good reviews on Amazon and it was described as being spell-binding.

By the end of the book more than one thing in that sentence has changed, and for Mary Beth life is ... Read the complete review
