This book was hard to put down. The plot is so well done and so thought provoking. It causes one to look within oneself as the author takes you through the moral dilemma. Every character is so well developed, the plot is so intriguing and it has a feel good ending. Everyone I have spoken to who has read this book has so totally enjoyed it. They too have found it hard to put down. Ms. Jones is so descriptive that one can easily picture each scene. I so thoroughly enjoyed this book and I look forward to Ms. Jones's next book. I highly recommend this to anyone.
