This is a knock you over great book. It is worth every cent. It has great literary value like you find in "Lovely Bones", "Time Traveler's Wife", or "My Fractured Life", but at the same time it really gets you to think about right, wrong, and the blurred lines between as with "The Five People You Find in Heaven" and "Secret Life of Bees." I highly suggest picking up a copy, you won't be disappointed.
