Running from Solace by Nakia R. LaushaulMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
In all honesty, this was a tough read. Generational abuse, the shortcomings of the foster system contrasted against the necessity and benefit of such a system, vicious cycles of violence and so much more. It is a painful story. But it was grasping and continually held me attentive, wanting to know more about the inner workings of Mona, her son (and children) and the CPS staff woman who unknowingly became wrapped up in a case which would reveal painful truths from her own past, requiring her to confront the pain and hurt from years of her own abuse.
Truly, the story lines and three narrators of this story and the turns the story takes to tie them all together are absolutely gripping.

(Typed having recently finished off a carton of banana milk, of greater interest, I'm 99% sure I finished the book while drinking a glass of home-made hard cider ^^).
