Barefoot Girls is the story of a group of lifelong friends, and Hannah, the first of the "Barefoot Babies".  (Hannah is the daughter of one of the Barefoot Girls, Keeley.)  Hannah writes a novel which causes problems between her and her mother, after a reviewer notes how real and true to life many of the details of the novel appear to be.  The reviewer stated it had to be more fact than fiction, and Keeley is insulted by the review (without reading the book).  The story here revolves around Hannah trying to come to terms with her childhood, as well as her mother and the rest of the Barefooters.Without giving away key parts of the plot, there are truly some very unexpected turns in this story and Tara McTiernan is a master storyteller to be able to bring it all together in such a believable and masterful way.  I found it impossible to put this book down, as I wanted to keep reading to see just what would happen next.I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for my review.
