I haven’t been able to put this book down. I saw the movie years ago and it doesn’t hold a candle to this. I always remember James Deans character meeting his mother for the first time and she was a cackling monster that scared him so much he turned and ran. But when you read the book you get all the back story that was left out. Holy smokes Kate is indeed a monster.
