Sarah's neighbor seems to be the prefect friend, until Sarah saving the woman's son from a suicide OD reveals a horrible secret in that family. In taking in the troubled neighbor's boy when the parents are jailed tears at the seams of Sarah's family and life. Haunting book. ( ) It took me a while to begin reading this book, even though I love reading Katrina Kittles work. The reason is that I knew this was a book about child pornography and incest. Once I started though, I could not put it down. I read the book in two days, desperately hoping Jordan's parents would be caught and sent to jail, praying Jordan would finally feel safe and secure in his new home. Yet I knew this was fiction. That is the power of good story telling and Katrina Kittle is a master of characterization. Her story people do not feel like characters, they feel very real. This is a story that may stick with you long after you have reached the final page. The subject matter of this book (incest, child sexual abuse, suicide, and the death of loved ones) makes this book something that isn't for everyone. Kittle's characters mostly ring true, though the angry teen who so quickly morphs into the compliant, civic minded young man was a bit of a stretch. Her insight into the warped thinking of an abused child was provocative and sad. Another book (3rd one) I loved reading by this author. Although the subjects of child sexual abuse/incest and child pornography are sensitive and difficult, Katrina told this story with her usual compassion and grace. The characters are endearing, and the story is both heart wrenching and heartwarming. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
