As I was reading this book, I was reminded of Million Dollar Baby in that I felt the movie was very well done but that it was painful to watch and I probably would not want to see it again. I had a hard time reading it in that it made me sad for the family. She was very good at describing their emotions and I felt them as I read. It was hard to read about Susie's murder and even though I wanted vindication for her, I was glad that the book turned into a healing process for the family instead of a revenge storyline.
