This book is the story of two people managing to find a connection amidst the worst of circumstances. The author has written her characters with a great deal of heart and humanity. I felt like they were people I would have wanted to know. I believed every word, and was impressed with the way a difficult situation was handled.The subject matter is distressing, but it is done with empathy. It's intelligently and kindly written, often uncomfortable, as you should expect when writing about something so violent and disturbing, but never so graphic as to be off-putting. Even the intimate parts were written with more of a goal than just sex.I am so glad I found this story, and plan to check out other things by this author.
