This book touched me on so many levels. The first thing that caught my attention was the air of mystery that permeated the pages of this book. It keeps the readers attention and causes them to want to continue reading in order to find out what is going on. This movie touched on many taboo issues; D/S relationships, incest, same sex relationships, mental illness, and the fact that the secrets that people keep can ruin them or have an impact on their life for a long time. This book was also about triumph. The joy that is felt when a person can overcome adversity, fully embrace their past and their struggle in order to have a successful life and heal the wounds they have carried in their lives. I would can't wait to read Part 2.
