This book is one you will never forget reading.  Being an avid reader who has read thousands of books, I can honestly say this one is unforgettable, and one of the most surprising ones I have ever read.  So many secrets and mysteries are revealed, and you have no clue about how horrible they are until near the end.  It grabs you from the first page, and you can't put it down.  You feel for the characters Sky and Holder.  How the author can write so convincingly about the tragedies in this book is hard to understand, but she does it so well.  And in the end, you are amazed at the strength and love that can come out of such life-changing acts.  This author has written a wonderful and heart warming book in spite of the subjects involved.  I will purchase her other 2 books, and can't wait to read them!  This book is worthy of 10 stars.  NOTE:  It's 6 months later and I just finished reading this book for the second time.  It is that good!!
