5 Stars Wonderfully written!
I am a big fan of Atkins's work, having read a lot of her books, and I thoroughly enjoyed this one, as well. She had an interesting way of telling a story, and it keeps this reader hooked to her words. Reading it is like putting together a puzzle of past and present to understand the nuances of Jake and his relationship with his family. Her characters are far from perfect and that makes up the perfect story. I will read anything that she writes.
