"Some books are so good they set you on fire. This is one of those books,
destined to become one of those classics everyone should read, and trust me,
you will want to read this novel... This is a story about loss, guilt, love and loyalty. It is written
with skill and scope, allowing us into a young girl's life, letting us see
through her eyes, hear her voice, feel her fear and confusion and hope. This novel should go on every library shelf, be on every required reading list,
and earn its place alongside the book Piper eventually read, To Kill a
Mockingbird, and other inspiring classics like it, those books we love to read
and read again."
