"I was a bit disappointed to find that this is in the middle, or so, of a series. I'm thinking I may never know how the story actually begins or ends.... I found that despite the twists in the plot, it is simply told."

— Wanda, 5/1/2013" I truly enjoyable read. This book touches on so many relevant topics in our society today from politics to bone marrow transplants. "
— Kim, 2/17/2013" This book seems to end before the story is finished so I'm wondering if there is a followup. I think it is part of a series and I just jumped into this one without realizing it. A story of power, coverups, extreme selfishness and the opposite story of a changed life, selfless giving. "
