As a Catholic, I read this book from a fictional point of view and enjoyed the story. The author does state that she has changed several things in order to make a good story and there are no way for the facts to be proven. That said, she is an excellent write with a wonderful ability to put you deep in the story. Our entire book club did agree that she painted a very good time line toward the front of the book, but you were left wondering how much time past in the second half. This was a very fast read and a difficult book to put down. I would recommend this book in a minute.
