It wasn’t perfect but Nora Roberts moved the story in a way that kept me invested in what was going on. I thought that this was a really good book. So, seeing Brooks bridge the gap between him and Abigail made for a really interesting romance. Does he still think that she’s hiding something pretty big? Of course, but he also knows that whatever it is, he wants to be the person to help her shoulder the burden and it’s obvious that whatever it is, is a burden on Abigail’s shoulders. Nobody knows much about her and she prefers it that way so when the Police Chief takes an interest in her, things really start popping off because Brooks Gleason started out thinking that maybe this new woman that doesn’t anyone in her business is hiding something and before he knows what is what, Brooks Gleason’s got it bad for Abigail Lowery. She keeps to herself, she’s very private and she only comes into town for groceries. Abigail Lowery just moved to the Ozarks in Arkansas and she purchased the old house out of the way. She witnessed the murder of the first friend that she had ever had, and gone is young Elizabeth Fitch and in her place is Abigail Lowery. It changed her as a person and led to her living a life on the run. It takes place over the night that changed everything for her. The first part of this story is young Elizabeth Fitch’s story. It changed the course her mother set out for her, the course that she saw for herself and she led a life of hiding. She didn’t know that her one act of rebellion would change the course of her life. So she does what every young girl does, she rebels against her parents. She grew up and she developed her own interests and those interests didn’t line up with the path her mother chose for her. She grew up under her mother’s thumb and when she turns 16, she starts to realize that she doesn’t want the life that her mother has pushed her into. She did what she was supposed to do, went where she was supposed to go, and ate whatever her mother’s nutritionist prepared for her every day. The Witness is about a young woman named Elizabeth Fitch who was the perfect daughter. Both the book and the game we played at book club.
