The Longings of Wayward Girls by Karen Brown FIC Bro

   
This was an entertaining book.  The main character is Sadie and the narration goes back and forth between her childhood and her life as a wife and mother.  Sadie's childhood was not a happy one due to an alcoholic mother and a father who didn't pay much attention to her.  One of the most traumatic incidents of that time was when a young girl from her neighborhood disappeared without a trace.  As an adult Sadie should be happy as a married women and a stay-at-home mom.  When she loses a baby she can not recover.  Her depression deepens.  Enter Ray, her crush from long ago.  After the death of his father he is back in town - single, looking good and with his eye on Sadie.  Nothing good is going to come of this!  It is well-written but the characters were not all that likeable!
