Today's interviewee is Mariana Arias!
a) What's the book about?Milla Edge and her doctor husband are now living in Mexico where he is posted. She is a first time mother that truly loves her child. On her way to the market she is attacked and her child vanishes.
This is a story about a mother's fight to make sense of a gigantic loss; her struggle to find her son at the cost of everything. Milla becomes obsessed with finding what happened to her son. She founds a company, Finders, that reunites lost ones with their family; to help those in her same circumstance. In her search, she receives a line that may lead to her son. In her investigation she meets dangerous and silent Diaz. Will he help or hinder?
It is the story of determination and a mother's true love.
b) What do you love most about this story?
I love this story because I can understand the need to ensure a child's safety no matter the cost. I love that Milla is strong and determined. I love that Diaz loves her as she is and still can underestimate what her son's well being means to her. I love that I can still read this story and be moved by it.
c) How many times have you read this book?
I have bought this book in all it's formats and have read every format multiple times; don't know the count though.
d) Who would you recommend it to?
I recommend this book to everyone; those I know and those I see in book stores :)
e) Anything else you want to add?
I asked a friend to read this and she said she doesn't like books where children are harmed or exploited. There are many that feel the same, and I get that. But I feel this books is beyond that. Love is central in this book, between the characters themselves; and I feel between the writer and the characters.

I almost didn't read this book because the subject matter hit too close to home. Then after I kept seeing it right in front of me everytime I entered a bookstore I gave in. I think it is now one of my favorite books by Linda Howard because it touches on a grim reality that is interwoven with threads of hope and a drive to bring an end to that reality.
I love this book, I cried when I read it and very few books make me cry.
This is one of *the* most powerful, heart wrenching books that I have ever read. It gripped me on every page - desperate to see what happened next. And yes, I blubbed too!
I have never re-read it though - just too emotional.
The ending of that book was so hopeful. I often wonder what the child's story would be. I think it would be awesome if LH wrote that book.
I picked this book up earlier this year and just devoured it. Then I went straight out a bought a copy...
There are a large number of very raw scenes in Cry No More...scenes that rip you open, but at the same time re-affirm your belief in love and hope.
This was an amazingly powerful and emotional book to read. I know I wept buckets while turning the pages. And yes, I agree with you all about faith and love and hope being so incredibly important. I haven't reread it yet, but at present I'm enjoying re-reading several of my long time favourites, this may move it up the list!
