Helpful Score: 1

A deeply moving book about the incredible strength people possess when they love one another unselfishly and enduringly. The book is beautifully written and a real joy to read. The characters are unforgettable and bring to mind the people in To Kill A Mockingbird although the story is set in the midwest and deals with a closeknit family of three siblings who are being raised by their father. When the oldest boy kills two thugs who have been threatening and bullying the family, he disappears and remains a fugitive for most of the book while the rest of the family searches relentlessly for him. This book made it to my "best of the best" list of really good reads!
