The Untended

 



Thank you She Writes Press for the gifted copy for Booksparks Summer Reading Challenge. 


Casch Abbey is a single mom of two young children. She works hard at her waitressing job. She’s tough. She dreams of becoming a nurse and buying a house. 


Casch’s life changes when an accident leaves her with a broken foot. Unable to work, the pain meds prescribed for her injury quickly become her only solace. As Casch spirals into addiction, her life unravels in ways she never imagined. 


This is a gritty story that’s all too familiar to so many people. The Untended is a moving debut novel. The writing is raw and powerful. It pulled me right into Casch’s world. This is a gut wrenching story and I was rooting for Casch the whole time. This is a story of love, heartache, and perseverance that will stay with me for a long time. 


The Untended is out today. Pick this one up if you’re looking for an unflinching and compelling novel. 


Are you picking up any new releases today?
