Review by: Ken Harrison on Feb. 02, 2013 :
I have not written a review before so please bear with me. This is book is well written and has a good story line and well developed characters. The loneliness and the need of Cain to be on his own yet to try to help his family and others are warring conflicts that he has to try to overcome is particularly poignant.
