Blurb
The night they told me my baby didn’t survive, I heard it. One tiny cry.
I ran and never came back. Not for sixteen years. Not until a stranger found me and handed me a note that chilled me to my core: It’s happening again. Come home before she dies too.
Now I’m back in the hometown I swore I’d escape forever. My mother is dying. My best friend Caitlin vanished years ago. And someone is watching me — leaving dolls that look like me, knowing my secrets, dragging me back to the night that ruined everything . . .

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews
First, I want to thank Christina Delay, Joffe Books and Zooloo Book Tours for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.
DANG!!!! I was NOT expecting One Tiny Cry from Christina Delay so be so twistedly tabooish! This is a story that is so totally out of the box that will have everyone talking!! I am a very open minded person/reader but OMG did she shock me (and that is hard to do)! I seriously thought Christina should have put trigger warnings on this book of the topics that might be sensitive to her readers. That being said, once you get past the shock value of sensitive subjects I ended up loving the book and couldn’t get enough of it. Christina Delay is a new author to me and now has me questioning what else she has written that I would like.
“You gotta cut away the dead for a chance at life” Is the first written line in the first sentence in the first paragraph in the first chapter that intertwines a very powerful meaning within the book. For me that quote I found to be more eye opening into what I am going through at the moment.
It was a breath of fresh air to see that Christina gave Darla a love of gardening and plants. Not that I am a garden or into plants but it was a nice change of pace. It was a blessing in disguise that she chose her passion as it would be beneficial later.
My heart totally broke for all the pain that Darla was going through. Watching your parents die is not an easy thing to go through. Many times I wanted to hop in and comfort her.
As stated earlier this book may not be for everyone. Christina deals with very sensitive subjects such as church cults, suicide, rape, insemination, dying parent, incest, drugging and Addison’s Disease.
Christina’s book is very addictive and fast paced that you will find yourself binge reading it til the wee hours of the morning. She is an incredible storyteller with an eye for description and detail. Even with all the shock value and the topics it covered, this book kept me entranced from start to finish! This book I would give a 5 star rating to.
