This story is amazing, really makes you think even after you've finished it.True, the story focuses on Sophia, a psychologist, and her angst about possibly getting involved with another Death Row inmate. She works with the family in overt ways, never meeting Jarrett Capshaw himself. She carries her own secrets. I loved that the book tells the story from different timelines, it makes the story and the characters more real.But in the end, what I took away from this book was a very important message Jarrett relates.....it's not about being forgiven by others, but about forgiving ourselves. We carry the burden of blame, shame and guilt around everyday, maybe waiting or worrying that we've wronged someone else. But in the end, we can't really move on until we forgive ourselves.As I've found in the past, Barbara Taylor Sissel writes in a way that will make you think....
