If you are looking for happily ever after endings this book may not be for you but if you are looking for an ending that leaves the protagonists with hope then this will be a good read.  Alisa has lost one son to tragedy and is in the process of losing the other in the aftermath of that tragedy.  The events that unfold leave her questioning all the premises her life is based on.  When push comes to shove and she has the choice of following her Christian principles or protecting her remaining son, at first she chooses the latter.  As events continue to unfold, however, she realizes that the right thing to do, in fact the only thing to do is step forward with the truth.  It all very painful and traumatic but the people she loves step up and support her and her faith in God is strengthened through the process.  This book is well written and there is enough suspense to keep you turning the pages.  The characters are believable and all too familiarly human.  This is definitely not a “feel good” book, but it is certainly a thought provoking one and well worth reading.
