This book had me totally hooked right from the start. It's a beautifully-written novel which encompasses everything from grief, love, guilt, hope, devotion and all things in between.

It tells the story, both "before" and "after" a shooting at a school in a small town in Texas, told from the perspective of Oliver Loving and his family. The tragedy affected each member of the family, and the residents of Bliss, Texas, quite differently, and it was interesting to see how each person dealt with the aftermath in his or her own particular way. The characters are all interesting, not always likeable, but totally believable in their actions.

I would have bought this book just for the beautiful cover alone, and would recommend it wholeheartedly. A stunning read.
