Consequences

Praise for Consequences:  This book is fantastic. It took me from laughing my ass off in the first four chapters to sobering in the fifth chapter to crying in the sixth chapter.  The sixth chapter was horrifying and so unutterably sad. It almost seemed like a different book, but still fit in with the rest of the book. Nora was very amusing even while in horrific circumstances.   ~ Deb



Nora McCarthy joyfully lost herself in two things - her kids and her husband.  Her kids included a hodgepodge of young people that found their way to her when they needed more than anyone else was willing to provide.



That was before, this is after.



After the kids have grown.  After the unexpected death of her marriage.  After Nora discovered that perhaps her life was not as idyllic as she once believed.  Nora is left to deal with the consequences of actions taken by others, actions she had no control over.



Jennifer was a child needing help.  For more than a decade Jennifer bounced between her biological family and Nora.  There wasn't a lot of help for either of them then - Jennifer was a child that fell through the cracks of a broken system - now that Jennifer is eighteen, there is no help at all.



For the second time in as many weeks Nora is surrounded by cops.  She has done all the right things for all the right reasons and it might just cost her everything.
