This novel preaches a version of Christianity that turns my stomach. Bible verses are read like horoscopes, with the protagonists projecting whatever they want to hear into the words. The reader is gifted with a lot of "Christian" lessons. A single mother just can't be a good parent to a boy - she needs a man (even if he's a loner who hates kids) to raise her son right. In a refreshing twist, it is not only a woman's life that is hopeless and empty without marriage and babies - men are worthless alone too, apparently. That doesn't mean that girls can climb on monkey bars or go to baseball games though. Those things are for boys.
