Quit after 100 pages. Perplexing writing, including some sentences that didn't really follow the rules of that pesky formula of "correct grammar," and paragraph upon paragraph of non sequitur explanations of non-existent questions, as well as endless descriptions of appearances and characters who seemed painfully oblivious to themselves and their thoughts, all led me to give up on what at first brush seemed like it could be an interesting read.Stylistically: Glenn Beck meets Bill O'Reilly meets Dr. Laura. Hmm. Lily Forrester is preparing for a really high profile case. Lily is a judge. Though, Lily is really busy, she is worried about her daughter, Shana. Shana is not attending her classes and avoiding her calls. Lily rushes to Shana’s aid. Shana is having a mental breakdown. Lily can’t stop what she is doing to watch and care for Shana, so she admits Shana to Whitehall, a psychiatric hospital. While Lily is occupied with the trial case, Shana is in hell…literally. There is something not right with the doctors and nurses at Whitehall. My Lost Daughter is the first book I have read by author, Nancy Taylor Rosenberg. I can now report that Nancy is going on my list of authors to read more books from. This book will get your adrenaline pumping. The moments where I found that I was most intrigued was when the storyline would focus on Shana and what was happening to her. The rest of the story was good but just not as interesting. The ending was a surprise to me. I did not see it coming. This is very rare as I read a lot of thrillers and am usually not surprised anymore. I can guarantee you that My Lost Daughter will not be lost as you will find a permanent place on your bookshelves for it!
What do You think about My Lost Daughter (2010)?
I couldn't get into this book & stopped reading it (they need that category in the status bar!).

Book is good and it is the continuing story of Lilly Forrester now a judge in California.

It was okay. I normally like her books, but this one felt a bit contrived.
—Tarrie
Interesting premise, but shallow characters and contrived plot.

A series of stupid choices made this novel painful to read!
