by Toni Maguire. I read through, and yes I liked her writing style. I read the first two pages, and put it down to do something. After a week, I came back to it, and read it in three days. I could hardly put this book down because I was always curious about the next thing.
This book is about a true story of Toni Maguire sharing a betrayal story. It begins showing us her early life as beautiful, and innocent which was taken away quickly by her father once he returned home for good. Outside their home they were a happy family, but inside they were hiding dark secret. This woman can writer. I would hear his father calling, "Antoniette," and I could smell the mother's baking. I feel like some of the five senses are missing in my book. The five senses are truly important to keep the book alive, and help take the reader back into their your world.
I was surprised to find three pages in one chapter that I could relate to. I said to myself, "wow the person she described is my father." I almost cried. In this chapter she talked about the apartheid in South Africa, and explained the sad situation that some families were going through. They were forced to work in the diamond mines. They missed out on seeing their children make the first steps etc and on their return they were frustrated, and tried hard to reconnect with their love ones.
This book is a must read, I'm looking forward to reading her next book "When Dad Comes Home."
After reading this book, I think I can start reading again.

The book I read in three days
Last month I went to the Text Book Center looking for a book I can relate to the story I'm writing; I wanted a childhood story. After I searched for about 30 minutes, I was disappointed to learn that there was nothing similar. I was avoiding the biography, but one of the guys in the shop suggested the biography area, finally I went. Most of the books base on childhood were books on betrayal. I decided browse inside the books, maybe I might like one of the writer's style, and pick some good writing tricks. Then I picked: Don't Tell Mummy"
