MY REVIEW
I’m a big fan of Susan Lewis, I have actually read eight books by Susan Lewis, Home Truths is my 9th. Susan Lewis over the years has written about all different subjects. Home Truths was a story that reduced me to tears, with its difficult subjects.
Angie and Steve’s young five year old son is found with a syringe.
Her eldest son was trouble he got expelled from school, but even more trouble is looming with Liam.
Angie was so happy she could live anywhere just her and her husband and their children.
I did feel so sorry for Angie, it all felt real-life to me.
One minute Angie is happy, then suddenly everything changed. Steve, Angie’s husband was beaten to death, the worst thing for Angie is that the police notified her that her son Liam was present during the attack on her husband, with a gang.
It’s so sad that one day Angie has everything,then the next she became a widow, having to scrimp by to feed her family, until she received benefits.
Homeless is another very sad topic that Suan Lewis tackles.
Overall I think Home Truths has been one of the saddest stories that I have read by author Susan Lewis, but it now has become my favourite. I recommend Home Truths with its strong storyline showing how much someone can struggle in life, with characters you can relate to.
