This novel takes a look at the ugly side of foster parentsfamilies. Thankfully not all foster situations are like the one portrayed in this story, but unfortunately many are. A slight negative for this book was that I found it a little hard to believe when the main character learns how to read music and play the major composers on piano to perfection within a matter of weeks. I enjoy Trudy Adams style of writing, it's easy to read and she has produced another page turner in Broken Melody.
