The Suspense Is Killling Me!

This week I have not read as frequently as I would have liked. However, I was reading for a longer period of time each time I read. I am at the climax point in my story and it is really hard to put the book down!! I love that feeling! There are some really sad parts in the story that make it hard to read but I keep on reading because I know that in the end it will be worth it. A lot is happening right now and some of it is very relative to my life. My mother and father are both experiencing health problems. They each have had a few tests done to try and figure out what is going on but so far there are no answers. My mother actually goes this week to get another, more invasive, test that hopefully will give us some answers. In the story, Meredith's mother is very sick and the doctor just seems to think that it is her grief but they believe it is something else. As it turns out, there might be another explanation to all the confusion and their mother hurting herself. She was living in Russia during the Soviet war and terrible things happened to her. So, now they are on a journey to dig deep into what happened to their mother. There are two sisters in the story: Meredith and Nina. They are very different. I am noticing that I can relate more to Meredith than to Nina. I mostly relate to her feelings, actions, and beliefs. They are women on a mission to find out the true life of their mother. The story just keeps getting better and better. The suspense is maddening! I have to say that, even though this is a different kind of situation that they are going through, reading this story has actually made me think more about my parents and their problems. I have really started to evaluate some of the things I would need to take care of or what I would want to do to help them out. I just did not ever think that I would have to worry about it so soon. I know that whatever happens we all will be very supportive and there for each other just as Meredith and Nina are in the story. It is amazing how a story can relate so much to past experiences, present situations, and future endeavors.
