I first heard about this book a couple of years ago from my stepmom, she was recommending it to me. When I asked her what it was about she said a little girl gets raped and murdered...after that explanation I decided it was not my type of book. Over Thanksgiving my 14 year old sister was reading it and said I had to read it. So, I decided I would give it a shot, I meant it could not be that bad if my little sister was allowed to read it. And, well....WOW!
Yes it's about a little girl who gets raped and murdered (It is the first thing the reader finds out)...but it is so much more than that. It is about life after tragedy, about moving on and not moving on all at once. About how peoples lives are affected by horror, how they cope with the pain...it is really amazing. It does not hit you until you have finished that you have just read something that makes you feel like you are being let in on a secret. I guess that is the WOW factor.
Definitely a must read and buy!
