This is my first time reading a book by Denise Hunter. The characters, the storyline, etc has depth to it. 
Both Aiden and Sophie experience growth. Sophie was able to set boundaries with her family. Aiden and Sophie both were able to stop living in fear.
The scripture“ perfect love casts out fear” was on my mind while reading this story.
