So sad when a loving mom has to choose between her children. There wasn't a lot of support from the judicial system, not much understanding. Sometimes a family should not be forced to stay together. Good does not always come from it. Kate Rose was a strong advocate for her autistic daughter, protecting her at all costs, but trying to do it the right way through the system. Because of it, she was victimized again. So proud of her mom for getting Megan into therapy immediately. Loving her daughter through such a stressful, emotional time is what a mom does, even though it took a toll on her own psyche. Fortunately for her she had a strong support system. Keep writing, Amy Quonce. You are a talented writer.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A Family No MoreBy Lauren JonesDr. Covington sighed and shook his head. Were doing all we can, but his progress in therapy has been minimal. Im sorry to say this Mrs. Rose, but your child shows all the classical signs of being a sociopath. One day hes going to do something that will land him at the mercy of the court system. My best guess is that he wont get the level of help he truly needs until then.How does a mother choose between two of her children? That seems like this decision would be a no-braineryou dont! Typically you dont; but, then you find yourself in a position to choose between your children when one becomes the victim and one becomes the enemy. What do you do then? A decision like this does not weigh lightly and will certainly stay with you for the remainder of your life, especially a wrong decision. This story delves into the crisis of a family who has experienced the inner turmoil of this very situation. Quoncy holds her readers with a deeply riveting and emotionally challenging story of a woman who is forced to do something that no mother should have to do.Kate Rose is the mother of two children, Andrew and Megan. Andrew has been a problem child since a very young age, always doing things to hurt animals with no guilt or remorse. After an escalation of his behavior alerts neighbors and school officials, Kate is forced to take her son to a psychologist for an evaluation. Dr. Covington informs Kate that there is almost nothing else that they can do for him after several weeks of little progress in therapy. Little does she know, that his wordswill haunt her for the rest of her life.Quoncy does a superb job with character development and original context. Again, this is a very challenging story to read because of the emotional level and criminal confessions. This author does show a great deal of knowledge in phycology, which makes this novel very credible. A Family No More does need a bit more editing because there are definite struggles throughout the read, but by no means is it uninteresting or lacking in creativity. Since this is a standalone, readers will have no problem with jumping right in. If you enjoy psychological fiction and family crime, you may be interested in reading this story.A free copy was exchanged for an honest review of this fictional piece.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Such a moving read!By Natural_briThis was such a moving book. Though it is based around the harsh reality, that all too many people must deal with, it is a book that I could not put down. It is filled with emotion, depth and true tale of what it would be like to have to live in such a horrific situation.I found the author's writing style riveting. She was great at really showing us what the mother was dealing with, how she felt and just exactly what it must be like to truly be stuck between a rock and a hard place. It was able to feel the fear, angst and sorrow that the mother was dealing with, as she struggled to fight and protect both of her children. It was hard to read through the struggle, as you wanted to hate the boy completely, but Amy told the story so well, from the mother's eyes, that all I wanted to do was help and save both the children.The pace of this book was excellent. It wa a slower paced read, but that was needed, as it was packed with emotion. A lot of the story dealt with the complicated decisions that the mother had to make, how she had to fight and just what she was going through. This meant that the slower pace gave you plenty of time to really absorb and feel everything that was taking place.Overall, this was a fantastic read. It really moved me and I truly found it hard to put down. Though it filled me with sadness, I felt the story touched on valid points and was very well written.**I received this book for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.
