What the Children Know Kindle Edition

by Trish Arrowsmith (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.7 out of 5 stars 13 ratings
Identical twins.
Opposite personalities.

For Holly and Monica, life was never easy while growing up. The day after their high school graduation, Monica left home and never looked back… until nearly twenty-five years later. She appeared on Holly’s porch, unannounced, demanding she look after her teenage daughter before vanishing again.

Feeling she has no other choice, Holly takes her niece, Paige, into her home and her life slowly turns upside down. Still emotionally vulnerable from a tragedy that took place thirteen years prior, she begins to experience memory lapses, items start to go missing, and her work performance is suffering. Everyone around her begins to wonder if she is, once more, spiraling out of control.

Like she always had, Holly tries to blame her misfortunes on her twin, but without any proof and Monica nowhere to be found, her family and friends don’t believe her. With everyone in her life suddenly fighting against her, Holly must find a way to protect her own child and save her marriage and the career she worked so hard for.

But how can she save herself when she doesn’t trust her own memory? The truth behind the disturbances is right in front of her if only she would ask the correct people.

    Solid story. Transitions within plot little confusing, but I got it by the end. Good characters. Recommend it if you like family drama.

    I really don't think that the title fits the story. I liked the story very much. Some parts were obvious. How they were tied together in the end, I thought was really good. Maybe a few loose ends. But overall a great book.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining story
    Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2024
    I purchased this book directly from the author at a book fair.

    Twins, look-alike sisters Holley and Monica, grew up anything but close. Although almost equally at fault for making the other’s growing-up years fraught with undermining tricks, Holly’s image was that of the obedient daughter, while Monica was labelled the trouble maker and nonconformist.

    Twenty-five years pass. Monica left home right after high-school graduation and never stayed in touch. Holly was now married with a daughter, and she held down a demanding position as an assistant to a corporate CEO. But then, one day, a knock on the door turns Holly’s relatively stable life upside down. Monica is on her doorstep with a young teenager in tow, who she claims is her daughter. Before Holly can ask any questions, Monica abruptly announces that, Paige, Holly’s niece, will now be Holly’s responsibility until she returns to reclaim her. No timeframe accompanies this announcement. Holly is floored.

    Soon after Paige settles in to this new living arrangement with Holly, and her husband and young daughter, unsettling incidents begin to occur, all pointing at Holly having episodes of forgetfulness or irresponsibility. As the story unfolds, the reader learns that Holly and her husband Greg lost a child years ago, an older sister to Lucy. The death triggered a breakdown which Holly was believed to have finally recovered from. Interspersed are flashbacks of Holly’s childhood, and also backstory on Paige. As Holly’s mental stability is questioned and her life careens downhill, more and more is revealed about the past and about Monica’s drive to destroy her sister’s happiness.

    If I have any nits to pick, it’s that the last part of the book is a bit of an info dump, with a lot revealed at once. Some of this info could have been hinted at with some foreshadowing earlier on in the story. Also, too often the POV changed abruptly and/or setting and timeframe changed without a date to let the reader know we were now in the past.

    That said, Arrowsmith tells a good story, and I enjoyed reading this one.
