A thought-provoking book dealing with two very important issues in our society today: first, it deals with one of the most crushing social stigmas prevalent in society today, that is, bullying, and secondly, the difficult or split-second choices and decisions that mothers make everyday, choices and decisions which may not always turn out to be the right ones even though at the time, they were deemed to be the best or the most fitting ones. Consequently, "What kind of mother are you?" is one of the most devastating questions to be directed at us. Well, this book posed exactly this question. It looks at the mother-child relationship, the impact bullying has on all those around, especially and including the bully, and how we can address the issue constructively.
Save Me (2011) is an emotionally powerful novel. A well-written thriller which will make you examine yourselves as mothers as well as fellow human beings. Hopefully we can all learn and get something good out of reading it. I highly recommend it.
Lisa Scottoline needs no introduction having written twenty books, some of which were on the major bestsellers' list like The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Los Angeles Times. Here, she talks about the inspiration behind Save Me and what she wants to bring across in her story with It's Your Call's Lynn Doyle:
