I was thinking about this book after I finished it last night.  Have you ever noticed that when a murder occurs, we only think about the victim's family and close friends and what they might be going through?  What about the policemen working the case?  What about the one who committed the crime?  We never hear about their perspectives.In Joe Cafe, Mader gives us a glimpse into how one crime - four people killed - can cause a ripple effect and touch the lives of many people.  It causes one man to lose his mind and faith, one to find love he didn't think he was able to possess, one to find clarity, one to discover hope and a different life, one to learn that he is not infallible, and one lady to find strength and to stand up for herself after a lifetime of not being able to.I enjoyed this book, even though it is not my usual genre.  I did find that the contemplation of the characters went on a bit too long and stuff was reworded and repeated.  However, it is definitely a book worth reading and it has a wonderful ending!  I did cry, and that is SO not me.  It has shown me a different way of looking at things - just like it did the characters in the book.  I suggest grabbing a copy and looking at the world through different eyes for a while.
