But when he figures out the real reason why I left, he looks at me in a different light. Even more importantly, he realizes more of what I need now that I’m back. And now I seem to look at him and everyone else differently, thanks to him. Whinny has changed a lot. It’s too bad that my family and my hometown can’t see that. Never the thorn in anyone’s side, as she thought she was, Whinny left. But now she’s back, and she needs help. Mama always says that there’s no point existing if we can’t help each other. So, I do, regardless of the warnings and looks I get in the process. As I’ve told her many times before, Whinny is one of a kind. I just wish she’d believe it. With a new baby arriving in the family, another wedding, and a renewed hope for Whinny, none of us realizes that a stranger from Whinny’s past is on his way to Clarkstown…with a gun in his hand and a score to settle.

Download or read book What She Didn t Know What She Forgot Boxed Set written by Tammy Falkner and published by Night Shift Publishing. This book was released on with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHAT SHE DIDN'T KNOW I met my wife when we were both sixteen years old. She quickly became my everything. Twenty years later, she still is. Everyone thought Lynn was the crazy one. They warned me from the moment I met her that, one day, she would break me. I didn’t care. I wanted her and all her crazy. Always. Ultimately, parts of our relationship were based on truths only the two of us knew, and that was unavoidable. No matter what, I always knew one thing was true -- I loved Lynn with all my heart. What no one saw was that my crazy far surpassed Lynn’s. I just held mine close to my heart. I held it in shadow while Lynn wore hers in the sun, but I knew it was there, right beneath the surface. I just never told anyone. I always thought what Lynn didn’t know wouldn’t hurt her… until it did. In the end, her crazy didn't break me. Mine did. WHAT SHE FORGOT I had been called ruthless. Uncaring. A bitch. And more. I'd known from a very young age that I wasn't like other women. I’d never wanted a husband and two-point-five children. I’d never wanted a white picket fence around a home that had to be baby-proofed. I’d never wanted a happily-ever-after. I was happy enough taking care of my sister, Lynn. Then the day came when Lynn didn’t need to be taken care of anymore. She didn’t need me. None of her “friends” needed me. I’d built this solitary life for myself and I liked it. Until I didn’t. Then I met Will Clark. He needed help in his office, and I needed to be useful, so I let myself in. I walked right into his life and I turned it upside down. What started out as a fun part-time job turned into real feelings and real…dare I call it love? For a short time, Will made me forget that I wasn’t suited to a normal life. He made me forget that marriage and family were not in my future. Then one day I was forced to remember. I had to make a choice. In the end, I had to choose to save him or save his ex-wife. Either way, there would be no one left to save me.

Danny's voice is readable, memorable, and may have just changed my mind about child narrators' The Book Bag'It was a challenging read in terms of exploring the often taboo issue of domestic violence between women, which makes this a hugely important novel. Exploring a narrative which is too often kept private, but nevertheless, desperately needs to be told, Allie Rogers is unflinching in her descriptions of bullying and brutality which can be found within relationships. For this, she deserves to be congratulated.' Jess Richards'Via a unique, compelling, utterly original voice and characters I loved from page one, Tale of a Tooth tells a critical, timely, heart-breaking story of a little boy and his mother navigating the hard parts of life with grace and wisdom and, most importantly, each other.'
