Steeped in Christian lore, this book ain't for the faint-hearted. Very mature themes, but no graphic sex scenes. For which I'm grateful. If it had gone into intimate details, I would've spent the entire day, curled up on the floor, sobbing my heart out. As it was, I didn't cry - but I felt every acute emotion coursing through my body. This is a story about a girl abused by every man out there, and some of the events related is enough to shock you. 
 Excellent, albeit harrowing read. 
 But it is a story about redemption, forgiveness and how powerful love and faith is in healing the heart (I'm an atheist, but even I can appreciate religion gives a lot of people strength.)
