Query: It was ok

The story starts out strong, The old lady praying, then moves to the drug ring and introduces the main character Bridie, but then they lost me. I had a hard time being hooked into this story. It switched view points, which generally like dual views, but it just jumbled this story for me. I did not particularly like the characters of the family- especially Alasdair. I felt like I was suppose to like him or feel bad for him, but I just didn't. A part of me liked Bridie and I really did like the relationship that was formed between her and the kids. But otherwise I was just uninterested. The story was predictable and I wasn't that excited to go back to reading it. There is good symbolism in the story and I felt that it was building up to something great at the end, that simply never came. Good potential, but it never came.I received this book free from Bethany House Publishing.
