I devoured this book in 4 days.  It was a page-turner.  The subject matter fascinated me.  I was enthralled with the characters.  And like all good books should do…it made me think about the characters, the subject, the issues raised…long after I had finished (I'm still thinking about it).  My Southern blood and ancestry made me especially sensitive.

It begs me to ask this question:  What things in our culture, in my own life, are despicable or ugly, but accepted?  What do I allow, but shouldn't?  Do I follow the crowd or try to go against the grain?  How would I have behaved 40-50 years ago – what crowd would I have been a part of - was there a choice?  Was the choice already made for you?

I really liked this book BUT give a strong warning to friends that there is a lot of language in this book that I found offensive…one scene in particular.
