Shattered Silence

Our January Book

Shattered Silence

By Melissa G. Moore and M. Bridget Cook

We had book club this month at our tried and true Cheesecake Factory! We were all so excited for the great food...but even more for the Red Velvet Cheesecake! I was so excited to get home and break into my dessert! That was the best part!

The book this month was about a girl who's dad was a serial killer. It talks about her life growing up with divorced parents, step-parents, friends, boyfriends. It was a very intense and difficult childhood to say the least. It's hard to criticize someone's life...I think what we disliked about the book was her ability to write about her life and all that she went through. Most of us would have liked more information about her dad. We also felt that sometimes her writing was confusing and other times she spent such a short amount of time on something traumatic. It was poorly written if you ask me. (Plus, there were typos all over the place!) It's an uplifting story about how she prevailed through all the hardships in her life and I'm happy for her...but the book wasn't worth reading.

Here's our beautiful picture...we don't usually get such great pictures in dark restaurants but this one turned out great! Love Cheesecake Factory!
