Helpful Score: 7
The story is a cautionary tale about family secrets and their destructive power even when the secret remains hidden. This is an amazing and uplifting story given the subject matter. I finished the book over two evenings. The ending was believable and satisfying. Edwards has a beautiful way with words. I was hooked on the story from the first page. Yes, it drags a bit in the middle but the details of the intervening years are important to understanding the characters.
