The Underside of Joy, Sere P. Halverson, 4 Stars
Reviewed June 2013
Joe Capozzi dies suddenly, leaving behind his daughter, son, and wife, Ella. Four years previously the mother of his children disappears, suffering with post-partum depression. As Annie, Zach, and Ella mourn Joe, Ella learns that Paige Capozzi wants her children back.
The heartbreak that each woman feels is palpable. It only takes one exchange between the two to realize that all involved will suffer if the two women cannot accept that Joe kept secrets for reasons they'll never uncover.
Well written, excellent story idea. Brilliant first novel.
