For Lisette, however, life really is over…to the tune of 150 years. Is it any wonder, then, that when her snooty Southern belle classmates decide to ostracize her, Rebecca forms a bond with Lisette, the only girl who seems to understand what it’s like to be lonely and motherless. When she’s temporarily uprooted from the familiar digs of New York City to go stay with her kooky clairvoyant aunt and cousin in post-Katrina New Orleans, life – as she knows it – may as well be over. Here’s the review:Īs someone whose family moved a lot when I was growing up, I could easily relate to the fish-out-of-water frustrations of teen protagonist Rebecca Brown. Her review ends with a hint of mystery and it’s intrigued me enough to add Ruined to my list. Here she gives her take on a supernatural book for young adults set in one of my favorite cities: New Orleans. Author Christina Hamlett is a regular guest reviewer here at Mother Daughter Book.
