The Bag - Help Wanted
She could see the gadget buzzing and she could see the fear in her son's face. "Don't answer it," she said.

Rachel Reviews: Persephone's Beat by Echo Arnold
Echo Arnold's book is told in the first person by Imogen who is in her twenties and is floundering a little, trying to keep her head above the stormy waters of life. There are reasons for this, mainly associated with her family situation: her father has died and even though this happened many years ago, she is still grieving. This becomes more highlighted due to the fractious relationship that she has with her mother and the contempt that she holds for her stepfather, Chris, who she also works for.
