If you see the photo on the back of the book, you will realize that the author did not have any of the experiences that happened to this main character; which is unbelievable because the story of Cal is so intricate and nuanced. This author captures the human condition and nature so completely. The history leading up to the actual "main event" was so compelling that the reader forgets the provocative nature of the subject. This novel will add to your experience and understanding of people who are different from you.
