My mom and I have both read lots of Terri's books in the past; but Intervention is the first one I've actually received to review. I was not disappointed. I received the book only a few days ago, and was a bit concerned that I wouldn't be able to complete it in time to write the review today. However, this book fit quite well with Terri's "up all night fiction" - I read through it in just a few days. I was immediately drawn into the world of Barbara Covington, widow and mother of 2. When she decides to send her 18 year old daughter into an intervention program (for her drug problems), she never expected the turn of events that take place. This book includes mystery, murder, intrigue, and all the things that make a good suspense novel. I was sitting on the edge of my seat with Barbara, as she sought to find her daughter and clear her name. I could very much relate to her - wanting to take matters into her own hands.
If you've ever wondered about and/or judged the parents of drug-addicted teens and young people, you should definitely read this book!
*It appears as though I need some new graphics to match my new template, huh?
These kinda clash - oh well!
