Ms. Napolitano’s novel starts off a little slow, and then picks up like a race car going at 200 miles an hour and never lets up.

It mostly takes place in the small Georgia town of Milledgeville and very seldom will you get such a complete picture of any town, regardless of size, as you do in this novel.

Ms. Napolitano is a character driven storyteller and she has more characters in this novel than most authors have in three novels and each character is amazingly well defined and alive. Like a Da Vinci painting, even the dead lying in a coffin, seem to be in motion and without speaking a word tell us a story.

Even though it takes place in a small town, the author is able to give us a worldview of humanity…flawed, redeeming, and forgiven.

It took Ms. Napolitano six years to write this amazing piece of literature, and any aspiring, keen, perceptive writer or reader can understand why.
