The author has done an outstanding job with her cast of characters. It is next to impossible not to become emotionally involved with their lives and extremely hard to put this book down because you want to know what happens to them during this turbulent time in history. This may not be a mystery, a thriller, or a romance, but it is a fantastic read. This coming of age tale kept me on the edge of my seat until I turned the last page.
