The book:  House Arrest by Ellen Meeropol

I have two quotes to share:
“I tried to get out of the assignment.  Prenatal visits to a prisoner?  Okay, house arrest, same difference.” Emily- Page 11

“The morning after last year’s solstice, the family had searched for the toddlers in the blowing, drifting snow.  All day they hunted and the next and the next, taking turns staying with the twins.” Pippa- Page 27

The Book: The Betrayal of Maggie Blair by Elizabeth Laird

I have two quotes to share:  
 ” She put her head charmingly to one side as if she was trying to remember. “They said they would dig up the body of Ebenezer Macbean and make a pie of his head and feet and hands.” Page 83

“The Devil himself was there! I saw the two of them as they left their wicked Sabbath. Elspeth and the Evil One. Conjoined. His eyes red like fire. There was a — a wailing, like the souls of the damned screaming from Hell.” Page 85

The Book: Messages From an Unknown Chinese Mother by Xinran

“The children were just left to cry all day. She mostly fed them on rice gruel, and kept them clean by sluicing the urine and excrement off the mat with cold water. By night she slept squeezed onto the mat with the babies, at the mercy of the mosquitoes just as they were.”  Page 244
