Tara Botel Doherty is an exceptional author who knows how to write a very compelling story. This is my first experience with this author and I was deeply impressed with her smooth flowing writing style. I felt an immediate connection to her work. I feel this book is a great contribution to the literary world.

Five stars!
What I most appreciated, it’s the fact that the book has shades of unpredictability, a point which kept me interested all away long. Besides that, I totally enjoyed how the concept of flashbacks was represented, reminding me of the classic police books, where every detail it’s a significant piece of a puzzle that contributes to a deeper and hidden perspective of what the story represents. I found Tara Botel Doherty’s novel, “Bread for the Table” captivating as, through a puzzling plot characterized by an intriguing mix of present versus the past and a well-developed protagonist, it was hard to let down once started.
I warmly recommend “Bread for the Table” by Tara Botel Doherty!Mar 09, 2017 Cristina Slusariuc rated it. It was amazing!

This is a well written book. I liked how the book flows and how more details come out about Sage and her early life through the flashbacks. The book has the same feel as a classic movie. I likes how the book really puts you into the characters head and you get to experience her world.-Chris on Goodreads
Five Stars!
| Bread for the Table takes us through a day in the life of Sage, and through a series of flashbacks we learn events from her past that make her the woman she is today. The question is… is she happy with that woman? Sage is a character you can relate to… an average person with her own personal demons trying to find her way through life. I really enjoyed the way Doherty weaves the story: revealing Sage’s somewhat unconventional background gradually through the memories the character has while she struggles through a rough day. |
