I really enjoyed this book. I felt that the author did a good job of making the characters and setting very real and believeable. I also thought that the story of personal pain and self condemnation was very drawing. I think that many people experience this pain without Christ in their lives and I loved the illustration of that transformation through this story. I would definately recommend this to other bookclubs Christian or not. It definately can provide a starting point to open some dialogue.

Touches on topics of guilt and feeling unloved and the impact those topics can have on a life. This is a sweet, realistic story. Written so that I felt like a member in the community; I felt like I knew these people and places.
