The author, Gregg Olsen delivers with this one! Well written, researched and crafted, Olsen weaves a tale that will pull the reader into a world (thank God) most of us will never see. I don't want to give away any surprises but I will say that in the end I began to wonder if its possible that some people are born without a soul much less a conscience. Go ahead, buy it and read it, I highly recommend it, but be prepared this Amish tale aint about quilts and growing corn.

I enjoyed this book although I wish there had been more details about what actually happened to Danny (the little boy). I guess we'll never know! I also agree with another member about the graphic homosexual content. TMI comes to mind!

This is a very sad story, but one I would recommend to anyone who has thought about child abuse and what could have been done to revent it.
