This story was much deeper than I'd thought when I picked it up. The main character, Jon Camden, has it all until a terrible car wreck that kills his wife and child. Blaming himself, he drifts through life for years until at last he returns to Indigo Creek. Slowly he rebuilds his life, one piece at a time, and begins to let go of the guilt and pain that he has carried for so long.Jon's character is deep and complex, and his pain feels so real as you follow his story of finding redemption through time, therapy, and old hometown friends and family.J.R. Whitley does an excellent job of creating a story that seems to hit a chord with anyone who has suffered a loss, and I felt a surprising connection to the characters. This is the first book I've read by Whitley, and really enjoyed it.
