I’m becoming a fan of author Catherine Ryan Hyde. And, apparently I’m not the only one, since one of you emailed me privately and thanked me for recommending When I Found You, authored by Hyde. I confess, I haven’t finished this book I am recommending now due to deadlines, but I’ve read enough of Don’t Let Me Go by Catherine Ryan Hyde to recommend this novel also. Hyde’s ability to create multi-dimentional and interesting characters makes her books stand out among the masses.
Billy Shine is the main character in this story, and he hasn’t left his apartment in a decade—not even one step out into the hall. Billy’s safe life unravels when he meets 9-year-old Grace. From the back cover:
Troubled by this change in the natural order, Billy makes it far enough out onto his porch to ask Grace why she doesn’t sit inside where it’s safe. Her answer: “If I sit inside, then nobody will know I’m in trouble. And then nobody will help me.”
Highly recommend, and the Kindle version is only $0.99.
