That's a memorable title.
Intriguing cover! I didn't know about this one. thanks for sharing!
Interesting. I like the rain drop effect!
Love the title, intrigued by the cover alas given that the pill-addicted mother is a bit too close to home I don't think this is one I'll be reading any time soon.
Great cover and blurb!
This one sounds very emotional and gritty. But really good!
Definitely an interesting title.
Thank you so much for sharing my cover.
