Hiding Places by Erin Healy
3.0
As most of Erin's books are, this one has a flavor of the supernatural, without really having it in it. Homeless children, gangs, and a crazy bunch of people running a hotel didn't seem to have much in common until near the end.
Kate was cute. She was unique and I loved her perspective on things. The rest of the characters, I had a harder time relating to, especially in the way they were written out. But the clear word pictures drew me in. I loved the secret passageways, the grandmother among others that were woven throughout.
Overall, this story is about how sometimes parents can neglect their children while taking care of them. They don't realize how much they are neglecting them at times, in the busy part of life. That is what I took away from it. I need to spend time actually listening to my children as well.
