Members Reviews:
Hard subject to read about, but easily drawn into the story.
Hard subject matter, but easy to get pulled in to the characters.
Carter Brookes knows abuse. He's lived it his whole life under the hands of his father. He despises him and his family for the abuse they try to hide from the world.
Tawney Owens is a strong girl from the wrong side of the tracks, but Carter falls for her.
This book follows their lives over a course of ten years. They meet as teenagers in high school.
Carter wants his life to be different, because he wants to be nothing like his father.
Tawney was raised by an absent father and a drug addicted mother, so her strength came all on her own.
This is a short story that will have a continuation of the story with, The Finish, that comes out in 2014.
This well written story is about domestic violence. Jade plans to donate money to this cause.
Pleasantly surprised!
Well, well Jade Eby. You caught me a little off guard here! I really wasn't sure that I'd like this. The title kind of threw me off initially, but the summary sounded interesting so I thought I'd give it a read. I was surprised to be captivated by this story right away.
This book takes a look at the dysfunctional dynamic of an abusive relationship. We meet Carter as a teen from an abusive household who despises his father (the abuser). He falls for Tawny, a tough as nails pretty girl from the wrong side of the tracks. This story follows their relationship over the course of 10 years, as we watch to see if it's possible to break the cycle of abuse. It's hard to explain how I felt about this book without spoilers, so I'll just say that this was a well written, easy to read short story with a cliffhanger ending... I will be interested to see how things turn out for Carter and Tawny!
Great way to start The Finish
This is a good way to start off her series with this companion novel.
Carter Brooks gets abused by his father. He meets Tawny Owens and falls in love with her.
Years passed, they're married and he beats her. Only when she deserves it and not like his father who does it for fun.
Domestic abuse to a hard subject for anyone.
And I am not excusing what he did but I understand it? The only reason Carter is beating on Tawny is because that's how he is raised!
You're children follow in your footsteps. That's all Carter knows so why wouldn't he do that same thing?
I can't wait for The Finish and see what happens with Tawny and Carter.
The Finish will be in Tawny's POV and come out early 2014.
Whiskey and a Gun
This is the story of the making of an abusive husband, from the husbandâs point-of-view. This takes a tough topic like domestic abuse and handles it in such a way that even if you are disgusted by the things he does, in some sick and twisted way you feel you can understand how he got to that pointâthe point of no return. This story in no way glamorizes abuse, but it doesnât shrink from the complexities of such a messed up relationship.
