Parents can be some of the most passionate determined people on earth. Perhaps you've seen parents at a ballgame cheering or jeering or yelling at the umpire. Perhaps you've seen parents obsessing over dance classes or piano recitals or grades or you name it. Sometimes it all gets way out of control. That's where this book begins... with a parent trying to live her dreams through her daughter.

I had a bit of trouble getting into this book. I'm not really into crime scene investigation type books, and I'm not really interested in ballet. I thought that the story would be a feel good story since it was about a quilt and I assumed quilting. It was a much more complex and detailed crime story than I expected.

I did find that the I was drawn to both Sophia, the main character and Julian, the detective investigating the case. The fact that Sophia was unable to speak after she and her mother were brutally attacked lent an unusual aspect to the story line. If you like mysteries but don't like violent details, you may want to pass on this book. All this said, if you like detective stories and whodunits, and you don't mind a violent, but not graphic, details, you may find that you enjoy this book.

That's about as diplomatic as I can be. ~wink~
