I was truly blown away by the emotion that is so prevalent and expressed throughout this book.  I found myself tearing up several times during this book, and finally at the end just having a good happy cry.  James was such a tormented character, that I really couldn't believe he was still able to cope with life.  This book hot home on so many real issues that are still going on today.  I hate the fact that people tend to be ruled their ignorance and that bigotry and prejudice are still so prevalent in this society.  James grew up in an unsupported household that actually encouraged abuse.  How many other children have grown up that same way due to other circumstances?  I'm a firm believer that good and bad are found within the person, not in their lifestyle choices or skin color.Seth on the other hand was raised in a hate-free environment,  with a family that supported his choices and stood by him.  How wonderful would our society be if we all were nurtured in this same environment? I'm actually glad Seth was able to show James that not everyone had the narrow minded views of his family.  It helped heal him as a person.This book will definitely take you on an emotional roller coaster ride.  I would love to read another book by this author!  It is definitely a top pick.  My only regret is that I cannot give this book more than 5 spiders!! I do hope the author returns to write about Chase.  I see a swarthy bodyguard in his possible future..lol!!*this book was given to me freely for my honest opinion in a review*
