sueemmy 's review for:

5.0

Twenty pages in and I knew I was hooked. True crime podcasts, a disappeared mother and two girls, one only 21 when she took over raising her sister, combine into a fantastic story of trying to become whole again. Jess thought she had hidden those five postcards from their absent mother, trying to protect her little sister, Tegan. Apparently, not only did Tegan find the postcards, but she reached out to a podcaster, Salem, who famously covered the con man her mother left with. The sisters agree to a road trip with Salem and her assistant, Hawk, to go to five locations where the postcards were postmarked. Along the way, they discover a birth mother really does not always constitute a family. Finding people that love and protect you are a much truer family. Thanks to netgalley and Kensington Books for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
