United Methodist Women discussion

I don't always like the novels chosen for the UMW reading program. This one is great! The characters seemed real and the story was paced to keep you engaged. Yes, it's sad but it maintains a level of hope throughout and the characters demonstrate strategies for dealing with life's tragedies. I would recommend it to anyone interested in:
- human trafficking
- spousal abuse
- New Orleans area/Katrina
- teen suicide
- Christian counseling
- supporting each other within a Christian community
- with a little romance thrown in, but not too explicitly for teen readers.
