Save Me is not an easy book to read. It deals with some tough subjects. Rose McKenna has just moved her family to a new town to help her daughter escape from school bullying. But the problems continue since Melly's facial birthmark makes her a target for the mean kids. After a favorite teacher tells her that Melly is hiding in the handicapped bathroom instead of eating her food, Rose volunteers to be a lunchroom Mom. There is an explosion in the cafeteria that causes injuries and loss of life. Rose is now the target of a campaign of misinformation and blame. As she strives to get to the bottom of the story, Rose finds herself deeply entangled in a web of corporate greed and murder. The book really took off for me in the second half and I was surprised to realize that it was 1:30 in the morning when I read the last page. Keep a box of tissues handy because Save Me will bring on the tears. But don't give up when the going gets hard. This is a roller coaster ride of a book that will stay with you after you finish it.
