The truth does not change whether it is seen or unseen, it whispered in her mind. A thing that is happening happens whether you look at it or not. And yes, maybe it is easier not to look. Maybe it is easier to say because you do not see it, it is not happening.

Wow… This book packs such a punch in so little pages… This book is so heavy and will truly leave you at a loss of words. Complacency and its negative effects are depicted so well in this novel it tears you open. What we choose not to see when it comes to those we know and love and how that effects not only those close to us but also the world we live in. I cannot fully explain how wonderful this book is.
