Query: Thought-provoking and moving novel

This is one of those books that will stay with you for a while. I read it two weeks ago, and still find myself thinking about the characters, especially Dodger. Don't be fooled by the blurb, this isn't a cute story about a cozy, friendly town, but has darker undertones. The characters struggle to deal with intolerance, and indifference; Hassler really makes you care about all the characters, and the story. I think he is a wonderful writer, and would recommend this novel as a good start for anyone who wants to discover his works.
