NEW RELEASE........On the surface Junie Olson’s life looks idyllic, from her handsome husband and beautiful daughter to her successful business, the bakery she'd always dreamed of opening. But in the past few months her world has slowly unraveled. Her precocious child is withdrawing, showing unexplainable signs of emotional regression, a condition that frays the bonds of Junie’s once impenetrable marriage. When her father dies suddenly of a heart attack, Junie packs up her daughter and goes home to help her mother. Her homecoming stirs up memories of the nightmare she thought she had put behind her, the disappearance of her childhood friend, Ellen. Haunted by recurring memories of what happened on that fateful day, Junie must gather the courage to revisit her past and untangle the secrets surrounding her missing friend, and the trauma that has caused her little girl to climb back into herself. As the pieces come together on the event that shook her small town, and at the risk of losing everyone she loves, Junie will question everything she thought she could rely on and everyone she thought she knew.
WHERE PETALS FALL is a gripping and emotional novel with an undercurrent of suspense, featuring a determined mother whose world slowly comes apart around her. Readers will root for Junie as they follow her transition into an indomitable heroine who must reconcile what she discovers about her husband and family’s tragic past, and find a way to put the pieces of her family back together and carry on.

My Reaction:
I was fortunate enough to be have the opportunity to review Melissa Foster's novel, Where Petals Fall. The description alone intrigued me and I knew that I would be able to relate to the book. Strange how it ended up being somewhat familiar to my ownw life and childhood.
From the beginning to end you will be in for one heck of a roller coaster ride, especially if you are as emotional as I am. This book will keep almost anyone entertained, as it crosses over so many different area's. If you love mysteries and puzzles, you won't be able to help yourself in trying to pull together the true story before it is finally revealed. That is what I found myself doing, as I continued each chapter.
You do not have to be a mother to understand the feeling of fear, helplessness, anxiety that Junie experiences with her daughter. You don't need to be married to understand the tension that this can bring to a couple. I think this is what I loved most about the book, the true "reality" of the characters. The realizing that what people show on the outside can be so very different than what is really going on.
This is a book that I will treasure, and surely be reading over and over again. Since in essence this book became personal to me, it will be hard to top this book in my favorites of all time. I promise that this is a book that you will enjoy even if it is something you typically don't read. It will leave an effect on you, it will cause you to think.

What a wonderful review, so enjoyable, thank you for sharing today xx
Thank you so much for featuring Where Petals Fall. I am so touched that this Junie's story has had such a remarkable impact on you. As a writer I always hope that my stories touch the lives of many, and Junie's is such an emotionally powerfully plight that I worried it might be too emotional for some. I am glad you saw the meaning behind it all. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with readers.
xo,
Melissa
