Saving Cicadas by Nicole Seitz

A novel of unconditional love and the freedom of letting go.

 

When single mother Priscilla Lynn Macy learns she’s having another child unexpectedly, she packs the family into the car to escape. Eight-year-old Janie and Rainey Dae, her seventeen-year-old sister with special needs, embark on the last family vacation they’ll ever take with Poppy and Grandma Mona in the back seat.

 

The trip seems aimless until Janie realizes they are searching for the father who left them years ago. When they can’t find him, they make their way to Forest Pines, SC. Priscilla hasn’t been to her family home in many years and finds it a mixed blessing of hope, buried secrets, and family ghosts.

 

Through eyes of innocence, Janie learns the hard realities of life and the difficult choices grownups make. And she must face disturbing truths about the people she loves in order to carry them in the moments that matter most.

 

My Review:

At first I wasn’t really sure where this book was going to go. The story was interesting and one thing that is for sure the author knows how to keep your attention. The book was well written and one that I would definitely recommend to friends.

If you like a little mystery and trying to figure out where you are going then you will definitely enjoy this book. I was repeatedly asking myself where she was going to go next. What was going to happen next. I finished the book in just a few days. It was not a short book but once your in it you don’t want to put it down until the end. You will definitely be surprised at where you end up.

The author calls it a modern day parable. I would have to agree with her. Read it but be aware that it will capture your attention.
