Rich with history and also with solid characters, this book was one that I had a hard time putting down. Our two main characters have not had the smoothest of childhoods and fate dealt them both a hand that was a far cry from average.

They cross paths more than a few times in this story, showing that the past still follows both of them.

The grittiness of the characters not so perfect lives was balanced with the reminder that no one is perfect. We get a solid look at life during that time period.
