The Wife Stalker


I have read a couple books of these authors. And The Wife Stalker does not disappoint. When I found out that The Wife Stalker was on Lifetime, I thought cool I have this book and am going to read it.
In the beginning it does read like a Lifetime movie. I was reading along than bam! something happened and it wasn't right. Changed the story a bit. The end, not what I was expecting. A twist that I did not see. Joanne,  Piper,  Leo and kids. Boy they are some characters alright. Reading about how Joanne was the glue that held the family together? Piper is a home wrecker? 
And why is Leo so depressed? It all comes to light in the middle and definitely at the end. Or is everything alright? Is Piper behaving?
I'll put the highlights on Goodreads

I give The Wife Stalker 4

Happiness Falls


 

Never heard of this author before. I’m glad that I got the chance too. This story was deep.

 How a family journeyed on this path to find their father and husband after he was missing from taking his son to the park. One girl, two boys, and one who has Angelman Syndrome. What happened to dad? Mom, Mia, and John find out about themselves, especially through their dad. Dad was the believer that there is more to Eugene than what people are saying about autistic children/adults. Did he get hurt for it? Only Eugene knows and he has a hard time communicating, or that’s what his family thought.

Dad and mom both are smart and have their own careers. Doing their best for their children. Mom backing Eugene up when people thought he was thought  did the wrong thing.

 Lot was going on.We see how the Asian culture has their traditions. How the family helps Eugene out with what he and dad were doing. Eugene hears a story from his brother and sister. The family finding out dad was working with him with another person. Surprise found out he was communicating in a way some say it doesn’t work. Well it worked enough for Eugene to tell of what happened to his dad. Was it just a story that he mimicked from his siblings or did it happen?

What ever Eugene’s family moves on and Eugene is saved from being put somewhere for the people that others do not understand


It was a good story. A bit long at times but story kept an interest .

I give Happiness Falls 4

Looking forward to reading Miracle Creek.I belive it’s the start of the characters Mia and John
