This was an extremely well written tragic story of a man haunted his whole life by the bad decisions made in his youth.  Although his mistakes were horrendous, you could understand the why and how and still feel for him.  The story was so well written that you could feel his shame, guilt and extreme stress.  The saga begins in the 30's and gives you a real feel for the times and how people found ways to survive.  The story contains many life lessons, main one being "what goes around, comes around", but that does not make the ending any less tragic.  I finished the book last night, and woke up this morning still bothered, wanting to go back in time and fix everything.  I know this was fiction, but I still feel the pain of Delbert Reno and feel like crying for him.  The characters were so well developed I feel I know them all.  Although this is a sad and tragic saga, it stays with you and makes you think and feel, which to me are the signs of a top notch story.  I highly recommend this, and plan to read more works by this excellent author.
