Little Disasters by Sarah Vaughan

Hi, all! 

How far would you go to help a friend?   This is the dilemma Liz is facing with her friend Jess.  In Liz's eyes,  Jess is the perfect mother while Liz feels like she's trying to hold it all together what with being a mom and an emergency room doctor.  There's always the guilt when Liz is away and she feels subpar sometimes with Jess. In fact their friendship has weakened since Jess had her third baby. However, one night, Jess brings her baby, Betsey into the ER when Liz is working.  Betsey has been sick during the evening but Liz notices an injury to the back of Betsey's head.  Jess claims that Betsey fell when Jess wasn't looking but Liz has a bad feeling.  Could her friend have done something to her baby?  Could Jess' husband have? 

This is a book about really not knowing what someone is going through and the lengths people will go to get what they want and to protect what they love.  it's also a book about paying attention and reaching out to those in need when they are in trouble. 

I really enjoyed this book.  It caught me off guard in a few places and that's hard to do in this day and age.  I was invested in what happened and in the characters.  This was my first Sarah Vaughan book but it won't be my last.  Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher.
