"One of the most persuasive and moving presentations of a very sensitive subject with serious moral consequences that I have ever read. The suspenseful surprise ending to the crisis on which the story pivots dramatizes the unexcelled and surprising power of compassion. The characters are well drawn, fairly leaping off the page with chilling realism." R. Colacurcio, PhD
