Finding Emma (Steena Holmes)

Kindle Edition

I'm so annoyed -- I made this my once-a-month checkout from the Kindle lending library because it was listed as "non-fiction" and I'm behind my goal of 13 non-fictions this year.  Turns out it's neither true NOR well-written.

Emma's been missing since her third birthday, two years ago.  Her mother Megan's kept the hope alive while her dad's busy punishing Megan for not moving on.  We meet "Emmie," a little girl living with her "grandparents," and quickly understand what's going on.

Just ugh.  Lazy, predictable, and in sore need of an editor.  A huge waste of time that might have been OK if the story were true.  Since it's not, it's just a tied-up-in-a-bow happy ending falsehood.  Blech.
