Format: OverDrive OverDrive Read. Fiction. Literature. "Flock captures Carrie's powerlessness and resourcefulness beautifully... tremendously touching.". Kirkus Reviews. "Flock's deceptively simple prose belies not only a seriousness in subject matter but also clever subtleties in the plot...Suffice it to say, you won't soon forget Carrie Parker and her little sister, Emma.". Bookreporter. "...everything crescendos in a way that (like all good thrillers) immediately makes you want to go back and read the whole book again from the start.". Victoria Griffith, Amazon.com. "Me &amp; Emma is really two stories in one: the page-turning events and how the reader reacts emotionally as he or she colors in the picture. I personally questioned how such young children could manage to survive this string of horrors unscathed. It is a tribute to Flock's literary talent that she answers that silent question with her unexpected ending and without compromising the book's complexity or tenor.". Julie Sturgeon, Pages. HTML:<br /> <br /> In many ways, Carrie Parker is like any other eight-year-old--playing make-believe, going to school, dreaming of faraway places. But even in her imagination, she can't pretend away the hardships of her impoverished North Carolina home or protect her younger sister, Emma.<br /> <br /> As the big sister, Carrie is determined to do anything to keep Emma safe from a life of neglect and abuse at the hands of their drunken stepfather, Richard--abuse their momma can't seem to see, let alone stop.<br /> <br /> But after the sisters' plan to run away from home unravels, Carrie's world takes a shocking turn--and one shattering moment ultimately reveals a truth that leaves everyone reeling.
