Thanks, Jennifer! Yeah, this one has been published a few years ago. I do add new books to my WTR list every once in awhile, but most books on my list are oldies but goodies!

Thanks for commenting, Beth! HF is great, but isn't it tragic that so many stories like these need to be told?

Yes, and unfortunately, tragedies just keep happening. Is it also tragic that we are always drawn to reading about such things?
