The Fading Place was a recent offering from the Dark Fuse book club.  A novella written by Mary SanGiovanni.  <br/><br/>The protagonist, Charlie, has parted from her husband of a few years.  She now has a baby to care for so moves to a town where she only knows people she works with.  Enter Simone to mess up her new life she has started with her baby.<br/><br/>What will a mother do to protect her daughter, probably any thing.  Then again, what will she do to protect herself.  This book could be considered a study of self preservation of the female, especially the female with a child.<br/><br/>There was one part of the story where I thought the protagonist was really stupid and not in keeping with her personality as I saw it.  I took one star away for this.  I'm not sure why the author had Charlie do this, but she did.  Perhaps she wanted Charlie to attempt to save herself.<br/><br/>The Fading Place was an interesting book and a quick read as it is a novella.  You do not know what the outcome will be...who will be the victor.  I would recommend that you read this novella and find out for yourself!<br/><br/>Few, if any, editing errors.
