When Worms Abandon Their Burrows by Sean Parr
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Emily moves back to her hometown after being away for 17 years. She now has a successful year as a investigative journalist and her boss assigns her a new case that will bring her into familiar but dark territory. She is set to relive the most traumatizing events in her life for this case and this will give her the opportunity to solve the lingering questions she still has about what happened all those years ago.
This book was a touching and emotional journey for me, I identified with the main character in so many ways that it was hard to keep reading at some parts. However, I think that the author did a great job of showing Emily’s emotions, her conflicted thoughts and actions and how she struggles to move past them each day and ultimately has her triumph in her own personal way. A gripping story with a slow start, but it will keep your attention and stay in your thoughts for long after the book is done.
