Review:

"Me & Emma is a triumph...a remarkable story, told with vigor and truth and stunning revelations that remain with you long after you've closed the cover."

"Me & 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

."..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

"Deftly capturing the hidden thoughts of an emotionally bereft child, Flock's haunting second novel is not soon forgotten."-Booklist

"Flock captures Carrie's powerlessness and resourcefulness beautifully... tremendously touching."-Kirkus Reviews

"Deeply moving, tragic [and] amazing...keeps you more than hooked!" -OK! Magazine

"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
