Immaculate Conception: A Novel by I.J. Miller
Two moms, Maddie and Al, wake up one cold morning in March in a run-down motel in Weehawken, NJ thinking they have finally found safety after a cross-country escape from their baby’s manipulative biological father. But they soon discover that the state’s top hostage negotiator--and his personal four-man SWAT team--surround their room.
MY REVIEW:
Loved this quote from the book and it rings so true
Have you read this book? What did you think about it?
Disclaimer: I received this e-book free in exchange for an honest review.
Well, let me start off by saying, that the book is a fast paced thriller and I loved every second of reading it.
This book explores how being abused as a child affects a person to such a degree that is it is literally impossible to comprehend. Its like the ripple effect, they may do good or cause the ultimate damage.
Because yes, a child who has an alcoholic parent will either become an alcoholic or will be the opposite of it.
This book is a story about 2 women who suffered abuse at the hands of their parents. It was heart wrenching. The author does a very good job of electing sympathy and sadness for them. Very beautifully written, the parts where it shows that the girls are remembering their abusive episodes, they are actually told from their perspective, when they were young. And that makes this book very intriguing and a page turner.
The characters journey takes them thru some of the toughest situations and you can see their growth and how far they have come. The ending was heart breaking and mournful. I wished to see Al happy, SPOILER [I felt angry at Maddie for her actions but when you think about its just wasn't possible for her to go thru it.] SPOILER

"That even when you think you know someone you still don't, still don't know everything he's capable of."I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and the author's style.

Happy reading!
I've read it! I really enjoyed it, as well. It was definitely an intense journey, with really well thought out characters. I was mad at Maddie but understood her choices ultimately. I could see it as a movie :) Really well written.
ReplyDeletethank you for you comment, yes, it took some time to get over her betrayal but as a mother I can understand her too, but it hurt so much, I couldn't stop crying!
