This book is well written, with the exception of some typos and typesetting errors.  There were surprises and twists that were well hidden until the appropriate time in the story to give the best effect. The reason that the writing is classed as Christian is very clear.  The writer doesn't like using the words that were used during those times, on both sides of the story.  The returning of faith to the main character is well written and explained.However, I found the very clear Southern bias to be troubling.  Reading this book, you're led to believe that every soul born South of the Mason Dixon Line is a card carrying member of the KKK.  I am a native Georgian, growing up in both Atlanta, a large city and moving to a small town about 30 miles South of Atlanta for the balance of my childhood.  Yes, there was racism and division but none more here than anywhere else in this country, evil knows no boundaries.This is more of an opening of eyes than a real mystery or a "who done it" novel.  It was busy, several story lines and characters to keep up with.  M. Carlson did a good job of keeping everything going in the right direction.  As the story wound down to the great reveal, things moved very quickly, wrapping up just a little to neatly.  The reader will certainly know that there will not be a sequel to this story.The price is good for this one.  The reading was hard at times as I had to keep telling myself, this is fiction from her point of view.
