I couldn’t put this book down. It was such a compelling read that I kept turning page after page wanting to know what came next…eventhough I already knew how it ended. It is beautifully written, almost like reading a fiction book, and yet, of course, frightenly real. It is tragic that this actually happened, but I’m thankful to each family that they have chosen to tell their story. To share with us the grace and mercy, and abundant love that these two families have for one another.
They have been a wonderful example of how we, too, can love and forgive, and have compassion towards one another when life doesn’t play out how we would like. This book makes me want to live a deeper faith-filled life and always love and have faith…no matter what!
