Publisher Description
“You hate too many things, Cal,” he sighed, brushing stray curls away from her face. “Your heart doesn’t have room for it all.”
When Callister Rhodes runs away from home, she expects to leave her problems far behind. Persuading a classmate to take her into the bush on Mount Pirongia, they stumble on a secret that is not easily forgotten and its menace follows her back to Hamilton, staining her new life with old, familiar wounds.
What happens in the bush should stay in the bush, but it won't. As the consequence of what they did wraps itself around the teenagers, they find themselves in danger. Calli realises all too late that the demons in her past have come full circle and want payback.
The treacherous New Zealand bush offers Calli love and salvation before snatching both cruelly away. But in her quest to find escape she is forced to test her own limits and ultimately, find herself.
This storyline contains issues such as mental illness, self-harming and the theme of rape is touched upon, but not explicitly.
Blaming the Child has earned five stars from Readers' Favorite and a top genre winner's seal in the Authors' Cave Book Awards 2014 in the romance genre.
Customer Reviews
A Trail of Lies
I am an old man reading a Young Adult (YA) book. The reason I started reading it is my appreciation for K.T. Bowes’ writing and story telling. I have read virtually all of her books and once again I am not disappointed. A Trail of Lies is a story of a troubled young woman who learns something startling and then struggles to resolve her problems. She often takes wrong turns and is helped back on the right path by those who love her as well as those she does not know - yet. Along the way she has several adventures and gains the enmity of dangerous people. If you are a YA read the book; you will enjoy it. If you are an old guy, like me, read it; you may be surprised by how much you learn and enjoy about Calli.
