Me - Review by Martha A. Cheves, Author of Stir, Laugh, Repeat; A Book and A
Dish; Think With Your Taste Buds
Beth
tried to look up and along the curving road, but her aching spine only allowed
her to raise her vision enough to glimpse the bottom half of the skewed camper
in front. The chocolate-brown back doors
were mangled and the French license plate lay in the other debris that had been
smashed from it, but the vehicle was still the right way up. In the gap between its underside and the
road, she could see a pair of feet moving.
Dark navy trousers and black boots.
She cried out, not recognizing the mournful howl that emerged from her,
but hoping it would be loud enough to attract their attention. Her face dropped into the puddle a second
time and she had to blow a few bubbles of air into the water before she could
raise her head again. Beth fought
unconsciousness, and when she cracked her eyes and blinked the water from them,
somebody was standing beside her, a smudgy black silhouette against the failing
daylight. She opened her mouth, fighting
oblivion to alert them to Luc's predicament.
The foot swung back and kicked Beth squarely in the face. Before the impact embedded her deep into
unconsciousness, she heard the squeak of her teeth and a flat crunch as her jaw
fragmented.
When
Beth woke to find herself in the hospital, the doctors informed her that her
jawbone had been in fragments when she was admitted and had to be replaced with
plates. She also learned that she had
been in a coma for over eight weeks. Her
first question - "Luc?" Where
is he? Did her survive the crash? Unfortunately, the answers weren't what she
wanted to hear. But Beth was soon to
learn that this was just the beginning of what awaits her as she travels from
France to America in search of answers to the last word Luc uttered to her...
"sorry" and the one word she was told he uttered to the emergency
nurse at the site "Allegro."
Author
Richard Parker has a knack for writing books that will keep you not only on the
edge of your seat but also finding it impossible to put down . This book is no exception. Each chapter fills the reader with nail
biting action that draws you tightly into the story. And with the chapters being 1 - 2 pages
long, you'll find it hard not to read 'just one more.' I can never get enough of his books.
