4.5 I thought this was so very good! Honestly this is a book that will take you on an emotional roller coaster. This takes place in I believe 67' when Cara is a young girl. I didn't pick up an age but around 8th or 9th grade. Right away from chapter one you have one tragedy or drama after the next. It doesn't let up until around 34%. I just wanted to reach through the book and hug Cara. How much can one person endure? Then things pick up and look sunny only to have it all ripped away again! It was crushing to see how Cara endured yet again. Honestly she didn't do well at all and it was scary that she allowed herself to go numb and put up with all that she did. I felt like she just didn't care anymore.James is a young doctor who has been there and witnessed some of the horrible things that has happened to Cara. James is smart, sweet and so very protective. He is also about seven or eight years older. So there wasn't a romance between them right away. I was annoyed that when things went bad James didn't fight. But he was such a great hero that I decided to overlook that. Now the baddie and there were many but the main one Micah was written perfectly. You wanted to hate him.My only complaint was the ending. I wish that there was an epi. I wish that there was more about Cara and James. I waited all that time for them to reunite and it was so short. I was so disappointed. But if it was written like that because there will be more James and Cara later well then ok. Heck even a novella would be great. And I'm just saying, a book about Jerry would be awesome! Hint hint..
