The author, sometimes to a fault, paints an incredibly rosy picture of her slain parents. This is more of a memoir of this horrific, traumatic experience for her. However, sometimes she's so mushy about her parents that it takes away from the story. I wish she would refer to her parents with their names, Robert and Ramona, versus Daddy and Momma. She also uses so many similies and metaphors that it is distracting. But it is worth a read and truly is a tremendous story of forgiveness.

Additionally, this is a story that you have to remind yourself really happened. It's amazing the cruelty that exists in this world. The worst monsters in literature are usually non-fiction.
