Books like Twice Taken

The conflict Brooke/Amy feels in this book is very, very well done.Everyone in her new family is telling her how terrible her father, who abducted her at the age of five, is. Yet Brooke (she still does not yet think of hereself as Amy, her real name, yet)has lived with him for eleven years. He was not terrible to her. Barely able to recall her mother---her father told Brooke she was dead--Hal Donovan is the parent she knew and loved.Now, at the stressful teen age of 16 years, she is thrust into a brand new family situation. Her mother is overprotective; her 11 year old stepsister resents her.From page 59 : her father"...I was scared and I ran and I hurt you. I never wanted to hurt you and I did." Brooke: "You didn't--you loved me". Her Father "Oh Brooke, you can love someone and hurt them anyway......"I really like the way Pfeffer shows the good and bad sides of all the characters. The father is not portrayed as truly evil--and he is not, btw; Brooke's real family is not presented as all good.You read about these things in real life and you think "how wonderful" for the parents who have now find their child. This book shows that even in a situation like this, there would be a difficult time of adjustment.Written for teens, but I am 59 and I thought is was great. Recommended for anyone who wants a good story with lots to say about family relationships.
