After reading and enjoying "The Sometimes Daughter" written by Sherri Wood Emmons, I was looking forward to reading Prayers and Lies. Although I liked this book enough to finish it, I was slightly disappointed. What kept my interest in this particular story was the display of underlying strength, forgiveness and unconditional love of family. Many of the characters may not have made the wisest choices, yet many (not all) were accepted for their flaws. The author did a nice job developing the main characters, yet I found it a little distracting/difficult keeping track of all of the other characters. I will say that Sherri Wood Emmons is a talented writer. I just don't feel that this book was outstanding.
