Riveting, emotional, incredibly detailed and well written.  A story that managed to weave such feelings from one end of the spectrum to the other.  Along with the characters I felt their anguish, despair, happiness, elation, and concern.  A story of love between family, friends, and eventually lovers.  A wonderful story that captures and holds your attention til the end.  The character of Rudy was brilliantly crafted and told with compassion, sensitivity, and authenticity.  His relationship with Ellis was beautiful.  I loved Ellis's character.  His strength is obvious to everyone but himself.  Until Jon.  The overlapping of their lives at such a critical time was a SO deliberate and I can't wait to read the following books in this series.
