My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Holding on to Hurt: A gripping story about a mother’s love by Charlotte Roth absolutely broke my heart, to the point I was sobbing. My heart ached for the torture that this family went through. Charlotte has written and outstanding story of one Mother’s fight for her son which no mother should have to endure. The struggle, the pain, the grief, the hope and the courage leave you an emotional wreck. It also raises the controversial issue of guns that many talk, fight and argue over and are either on one side or the other.

It is very thought provoking story that should not be missed but be warned a box or two of tissues is needed..

Holding on to Hurt by Charlotte Roth is a page turning drama. This emotional tear jerker was full of tragedy, anger, grief, hope, belief, unconditional love, determination, sacrifice, gripping details, unsettling revelations, strength, and hope. Again, Ms. Roth showcases what a versatile and talented author she is in this captivating read.
Irene Hurt gets the news that every parent dreads hearing, that her son has been injured and is in a coma. Her once perfect world is shattered in an instant and we follow as she and her husband both deal with their son’s situation quite differently. Right from the start, Irene remains hopeful- she stays be his side talking to him, telling stories, and hoping that on some level he is aware of what’s going on. But her husbands perspective isn’t so positive, and this puts a strain on their relationship.
Dealing with the shock, grief, anger and stress of the situation is further complicated with new discoveries and unsettling revelations. What ensues made for a very engrossing, heart wrenching, thought provoking and unforgettable read!
A word of warning though- have tissues on hand, you WILL need them!
Brilliant!

Thank you, Ms. Roth!
