A great Lori Wick novel!!! Although 700 pages, it only took me 7 days to read this book....which is fast for me. It is very true to life, covers how we as humans truly are in our struggles with sin and accountability. Highly captivating....just reading along, easy reading, and then BAM! something interesting happens that makes you cry, laugh, and just want to read more.

I've read it twice and cried and laughed out loud both times!

I can't say I have ever read a book this long (minus the bible) but this book was extremely captivating. I was entrenched. I wanted to help where help was needed, I wanted to be a part, I truly enjoyed the book, and would even consider reading it again.

My friend conned me into buying this book letting me know ahead of time it was terrific. While the plotline/climax was decent and entertaining, it took quite a long while to get there. I don't mind this book, but I wouldn't read it again unless I was sick in bed with time to kill.

Excellent and l-o-n-g. Big book--don't start unless you're planning on doing nothing else for several days. Completely captivating and very emotional.
