I've read a number of Sandra Brown books, but this one is going to be one of my favorites.
I really wish that these characters could get MORE story. There is STILL so much for them to do, in the future or in the past (flashbacks).
Dawson and his story is so good, that it could've been overlooked by the main story. His compassion as a reporter and a writer made me love him...as we get to know him. He's definitely NOT a perfect person (who is in real life), but his flaws are a part of who he sees himself as and who is able to become.
Loved the themes that were discussed in this book. Not all of them were throw aways, but themes that resonated throughout the entire book. Dealt with with care and truth. If a person was going through ANYTHING similar to the people in this story, then I think they would gain something by read it. I know I have, though haven't had such a rough childhood and background.
Loved the diary entries. I was wondering how she would circle around and include them into the narrative proper.
Really glad I read this book. Have three other Sandra Brown books on my shelf...will get to them sooner than later.
