"This is the first time I have read a book by this author and the first time I have given a book 5 stars. Amazing. Not only a captivating story from beginning to end and I read in 1 1/2 days without showering... but it also made me realize 2 things about myself. 1.) I have an area of unforgiveness myself I refuse to let go of and 2.) I have always avoided the book of Lamentations. I guess I need to deal with that. But like her, I instantly say I am not ready... ugh."
