When the Storm Ends, reminds us that not all children are brought up in a loving, stable home, protected from evil. It is a heart wrenching tale of physical and mental abuse. It also shows us that good can be achieved after a childhood of depravity.

Sometimes you read a book and find that you are left feeling sort of… content. Content in knowing that these fictional characters you’ve spent several hours with have come out of their traumatic experiences safe and well. This is just such a book.
The central theme of this novel is family violence and child abuse – so be warned. The characters were easy to empathize with and the situations easily imagined.

It all begins with Beth, a child psychologist who is presently helping solve a case. Erin, a fifteen-year-old is behind bars for killing her father. Only, she does not say a word about why she did it. Beth's job is to help find the cause. As she delves into the case, demons from her past spring out of the woods. Circumstances are eerily familiar between the past and the present.

When the storm ends: pre-release ebook review
Fyi- This book could easily be renamed ‘Trigger warning’ as these are wide swathes of text in which will make readers uncomfortable, even though the overall theme if the book is catharsis.
Too many times, small press books are all potential and terrible follow through. I happily, moved to the top of my reading pile, I was not disappointed. Rebecca L Marsh put together a wonderful novel.

Wow! Did I love this book. I could not put it down. I loved the subtle for shadowing and the pace of the story.

When The Storm Ends is another book that is very different to the books I usually read but nevertheless I enjoyed it. It intertwines two stories: those of Beth and Erin. I was intrigued from the outset and wanted to know how their stories were connected. The characters are created really well and I felt invested in their lives.
Marsh explores several themes in When The Storm Ends, many of which are harrowing issues. These issues do need a light shining upon them and I admired the way Marsh did so ...more

Hero one
This is a real tear congratulationsjerker and you will need to keep some tissues handy. I loved the story and it was so real and it was hard to put down. You never know what goes on behind closed doors .
The only thing I would change about this book would be when she goes back into her past. I would identify it some way.
Thanks again amazon and good readss for sharing these books on unlimited.

A great read that will keep you gripped to the end.
This is a story about haunting pasts and mental health. If you love books that dive deep into their characters, you should check this one out!
It's well written and features some suspense. There's a lot of times that it made me stop and really think about what I've read. I gave this one 3 out of 5 stars. ...more

The back story in this novel was rather neatly done, I thought. Beth became a child psychologist to help troubled children…her own abusive childhood was her motivation. She finds a challenge in Erin, a young teenager who killed her father. She won't reveal why, and Beth, ducking procedural rules a bit, thinks the only way she can get her to talk is to tell her all about her own childhood. It's risky, but Beth, feels a compulsion to find out the truth and do all she can to keep Erin out of prison

When I picked my kindle up to read this book, I couldn’t really remember what it was about. I just knew it was the next one on my tbr list. As I started reading it, I started to remember bits and pieces of the summary. I tend to like it when that happens. Coming into a book with no expectations!
