It is very rarely that I find a book that makes me not want to take care of my customers because I want to stay with the book.  I understood a great deal of the book and even though I am not into "God" stories, this one was able to hold up on its own when I skipped past those parts.  As a woman who has escaped an abusive relationship I was able to see the conflicts in Ruth when she was looking for ways to escape without more people getting hurt.  I liked the ways the author showed the conflicts she had with killing or not killing Rewis, with helping or not helping Bobby and the disappointment experienced every time she thought she escaped just to be caught again by Rewis.  The flashbacks were a little heavy but they did put some context into what she had been through and what she was feeling.  Her final self reflection and decision to start over was a good way to end the story, I felt completed and not wanting to know what was going to happen next.
