Awful...


Spoiler Alert!********


This couple dies and all the kids come home for the funeral and find a bunch of letters the husband had written the wife. They read through them and figure out that the youngest son was not actually the Dad's child. So they go around saying all these horrible things about the Mom being a cheater. The letters indicate that the Dad was really mad at the Mom and left her for awhile.

Well..it turns out that Mom was raped by a homeless guy and got pregnant. Mom kept it a secret until the baby was one. She told Dad and Dad left her but then came back and "forgave" her for being raped. Then there is this whole diatribe about how the child of rape was a challenge from God, and how the Mom loved God sooo much that she kept the child.

If that all wasn't bad enough it gets worse....

The Dad goes to the rapist trial and sees that the rapist has also found God. When the rapist gets out of jail the Dad brings him back to the town and he becomes a priest!!! The family priest.

I literally threw the book across the room it disgusted me so much.
