What an awesome book! Ms. Rice explores several tough issues and manages to pull together a very well written novel. She undoubtedly has a keen understanding of people and relationships. Her characters' balance and realness were very refreshing.I disagree with the reviewer who encouraged Ms. Rice to consider developing the novel into a movie. Film versions of books are never as good as the originals. Plus, hopefully she's working on her next release.
