Hello Beautiful Ones - Hello series, #3 - E-book - ePub

Shifting from the protagonist and her antagonist to the central character about whom the fight for custody seems to be raging brings its own drama. Rightly, the author centralises the voice of TAM in the story. In Hello beautiful ones the book is light, irresistibly warm, strangely consoling and ruefully mordant. With no care in the world TAM are growing as well as any children would. They are happy.
Rowena and Mastandi spared no cent to provide a cushy life for the three Hebrews compensating for the abandonment they suffered earlier formative years. They were trying to remove the stigma of fatherless/motherless by engineered the kind of life that would give TAM love, unfortunately, they ended up erasing the memory of Modi from her children - an unintended consequence. What will happen to TAM when they reach young adult age? Will they forgive Modi when they learn what she did to them when they were innocent and vulnerable, or will they turn the tables on their stepmom when they learn of her plot to erase Modi's from their memory? The reader is invited to take a leap into the future and imagine what life might be if TAM were to reunite with one parent only to lose the other permanently.
this is a riveting story, a collection of palimpsests that make for a satisfying read. Readers will find the novel relatable as much as it is absorbing.
