This is an example of a book I bought because I loved the cover...I'd just found Whistling in the Dark which I specifically went to find and was in the C's looking for another book when I saw CeeCee Wilkes (it had a nice 'face-out' placement--I only know it's called that because Hope Tarr told me a while back ;)) Anyway, I'd loved the Whistling cover and CeeCee had another adorable red headed girl on the cover, so....I didn't even really read the back of the book...and I'm actually rather glad because it tells some things that don't happen until a good while into the book or even the end (but do actually let you have an idea of what the book is about).
If you want to read it like I did, having no idea what it's about (but knowing that I'm assuing you it's a very good book), here's the little subtitle from the cover: 'She lived a lie to keep her daughter' and my rating of B+.
If you'd like to know a little bit more about the book, then....
CeeCee Wilkes is a sixteen year old working in a diner when she meets grad student Tim Gleason. He convinces her to help him kidnap the governor's wife, but when things go terribly wrong, CeeCee is left with a baby and a secret to live for the rest of her life....or so she thinks.
(You can go BN.com and read their summary if you want, but I don't like it since it's rather spoilery)
A lot of reviews compare this book to the authors other books or say whether its similar to her other works or not....but I haven't read anything else by Chamberlain so I can't speak to that.
8/10
